Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some locations can not be treated due to access issues, the termites will detect the gaps and attain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the residence by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
