Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when 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 can discover the gaps and gain entry.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your house by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
