Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
