Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding result.

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

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
