Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them.

The most widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
