Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some locations can not be treated due to access problems, then termites will identify those breaks and gain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

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

In-Ground Systems may 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
