Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home will make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
