Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from houses 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 entire colony may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building makes it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not influenced by weather conditions
