Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and access the home.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, but they’re usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
