Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Since the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures 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 observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they’re frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unaffected by weather conditions
• No danger for youngsters & pets
