Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent 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 an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances 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 in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the house can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
