Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than 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.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a structure can make it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
