Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places 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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
