Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can sense the breaks and again access the home.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
