Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the property.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses 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.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places 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 essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Destructive Are Termites?
