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 locations are compromised later or some locations can’t be treated because of access issues, the termites can identify the breaks and attain access through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of if the location 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 termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
