Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a house makes it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Eco-friendly
