Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will also transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they are generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
