Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
