Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites can not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure can make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
