Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding effect.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home will make it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for all your family including pets
