Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, causing a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a swelling makes it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
