Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor places can not be treated because of access problems, the termites may detect the gaps and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the house by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This 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.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
