Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is 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 identify the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they are frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
