Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The often frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been infesting 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 feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 are utilised in a similar fashion, however they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
