Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
