Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling 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, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites do not detect non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
