Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect these gaps and again access the home.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar fashion, however they are usually situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
