Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

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

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
