Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect the breaks and again access the home.

The often frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they will not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because the termites can not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest may be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, 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 around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home will make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
