Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with 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 as opposed to 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.

In this way, the whole nest may be eliminated even though the location of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
