Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, 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 they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume 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 entire termite nest will be eliminated, 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.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
