Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise these gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
