Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. 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 nest will be exterminated, even if you do not 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. These systems are particularly useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
