Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover these gaps and gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be eliminated, even though you don’t 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.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
