Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they don’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
