Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and once again access the house.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a home makes it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
