Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants may detect those gaps and gain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

The entire colony may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building makes it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
