Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access via them once again.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even when you don’t 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house will make it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
