Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified 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, white ants may identify the gaps and gain entry.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
