Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
