Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can 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 stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
