Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, 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 are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
