Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify these gaps and once again access the home.

The often widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites can’t detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire termite nest can be erradicated, even when 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 can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
