Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense the breaks and once again access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a building can make it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
