Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

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

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
