Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them once again.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting until now. 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 further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
