Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest can 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 needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
