Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
