Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can not be treated due to access issues, then white ants will detect those breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire nest may be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used 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 particularly helpful when the layout of a swelling can make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
