Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain access.

The most widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to erradicate termites from your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

An entire colony may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
