Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then termites can detect those breaks and gain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
