Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some locations can’t be treated as a result of access issues, then white ants may identify the gaps and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may also pass these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

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

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
