Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated areas. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The regularly frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
