Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they have been eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a structure will make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
