Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain entry.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, however they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact control
• No danger to kids & pets
• Ecologically Friendly
