Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when 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 can discover these gaps and gain access.

The regularly commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding result.

In this way, the nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
