Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the colony may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate location.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
