Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

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

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the nest 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 are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
