Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some places can’t be treated because of access problems, then termites may identify those gaps and attain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
