Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these gaps and again access the home.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
