Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense these breaks and once again access the home.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages
