Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain access.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and so they don’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites do not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
