Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses 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 white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
