Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures 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 termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
