Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
