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 is a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your house by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they’re usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
