Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 utilised in a similar way, but they are usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
