Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense the gaps and access the building.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
