Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites may identify those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a home makes it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
