Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

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

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, but they are frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Eco-friendly
