Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your house by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

An entire colony may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
