Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning 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 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 observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the residence design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
