Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain access.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, 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 structures that they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure will make it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all your family including pets
