Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can detect these gaps and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites will often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting 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 that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all the family & pets

Can Termites Badly Damage My House?
