Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The often frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 manner, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
