Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily identified 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 the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Not influenced by weather
