Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because termites do not identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar manner, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not affected by weather conditions
