Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

The most widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a compounding effect.

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

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
