Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain entry.
The most widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.
Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.
Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.
The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following application.
By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.
The entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.
While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
