Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and access the property.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest can be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
