Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
