Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap 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 entry.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

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

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as 8 years after application.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on result.

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

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
