Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and again access the building.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

An entire colony may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether 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 activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not influenced by weather conditions
