Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The often frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building will make it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
