Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar way, however they’re frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
