Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to erradicate termites in the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a flow on effect.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
