Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The often common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
