Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites from the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

In this manner, the nest can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building makes it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
