Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect the breaks and once again access the home.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, however they’re frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
