Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites from the structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of if the location 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 activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
