Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these breaks and once again access the building.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating up to now. 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 other colony members.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
