Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or areas can not be treated due to access problems, the white ants can identify the breaks and gain access through them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling will make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
