Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they are generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
