Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they do not avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Baiting System Advantages
