Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, even though 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 can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger for youngsters & pets
