Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
