Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites pass through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
