Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
