Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites can detect those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been 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 feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
