Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The often used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
