Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated because of access difficulties, then termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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 white ants before the perimeter is breached.
