Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and once again access the house.

The regularly commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the whole termite nest will be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
