Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them.

The most widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

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

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they’re frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
