Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
