Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants will often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, however they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
