Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites will go through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
