Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places cannot be treated because of access problems, the termites will detect those gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to get rid of termites from the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
