Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some locations can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites can detect the breaks and gain access through those areas.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the chance for termite access through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire colony can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
