Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites can often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to eliminate termites from the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

The entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
