Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
