Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
