Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
