Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even though you don’t 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 generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Unaffected by weather conditions
