Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning 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.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
