Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants will detect those gaps and gain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

An entire nest may be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether 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 termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house makes it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
