Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
