Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain entry.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is much reduced.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a house can make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
