Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or locations can’t be treated as a result of access issues, then termites may detect those gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they won’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite 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 detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling makes it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
