Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect these breaks and access the house.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from the dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

Continuing 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 nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
