Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home can make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger for kids & pets
• Ecologically friendly

• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
