Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or areas can not be treated because of access problems, then termites may identify those gaps and attain access through them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
