Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest can be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the position 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 observed termite activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to children & pets
• Environmentally sound
