Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants will detect those breaks and attain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

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 stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
