Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if 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, white ants can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which results in a compounding effect.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, however they are generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
