Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or places can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites will identify the breaks and gain access through those areas.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of 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 are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding result.

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

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
