Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these breaks and access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

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

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
