Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some places can not be treated as a result of access issues, the white ants may detect those breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they don’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber that they have been eating 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 that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even when 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.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
