Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on result.

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

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