Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some locations cannot be treated because of access problems, then termites can detect the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a building can make it tricky to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for use around kids and pets
