Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

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

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
