Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or places can not be treated as a result of access problems, then termites will detect the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure can make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
