Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The often commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they were eating until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

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

An In Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they’re generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
