Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and could potentially get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 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 helpful when the design of a home can make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
