Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect these breaks and access the home.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
