Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar fashion, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
