Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

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

In-Ground Systems may 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
