Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them once again.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

In this fashion, the entire colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home will make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
