Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access through untreated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

An entire nest may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, but they are usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
