Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants may detect those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
