Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify these breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

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

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures 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.

The entire nest may be exterminated 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 activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
