Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or locations cannot be treated due to access problems, the termites will identify those breaks and attain access via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and they do not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, termites pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various 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 rather than 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.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building makes it tricky to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
