Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
