Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, white ants will move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. 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 can 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 catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

• Not affected by weather
