Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can also transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather
• No danger for the kids & pets
