Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites from your residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

Ongoing 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 elimited even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home can make it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
