Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

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

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
