Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good 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 recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The often commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the residence by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest 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 intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
