Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
