Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some locations can’t be treated due to access difficulties, the termites will identify those breaks and gain ingress via them.

The often commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a house makes it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
