Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify the breaks and access the home.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
