Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
