Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential 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 can 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
