Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated as a result of access issues, the termites can detect the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they will not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the possibility of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire nest may be eliminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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