Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access via them.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are often used to erradicate termites in your residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even just one colony of termites can do an unexpected amount of destruction.
