Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after 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 termites don’t identify non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, even if 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.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
