Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify these gaps and gain entry.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the chance for termite access via untreated gaps is much lower.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the structure. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a home will make it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
