Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good 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 treated, termites can recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
