Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
