Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through 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 generating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the chance of termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a residence by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even if 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
