Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor areas can not be treated due to access problems, then termites will detect those gaps and attain access via those areas.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
