Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, 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 Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house can make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
