Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal 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 may recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding result.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they are frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
