Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 Baiting Systems are usually 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 intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
