Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or places cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the termites can detect the gaps and gain ingress via them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites can often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the house by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

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

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they are frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
