Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor places can’t be treated due to access problems, the termites can detect those breaks and attain ingress through them.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
