Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

The often frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a compounding result.

In this manner, the entire nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a structure will make it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
