Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and again access the property.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire nest can be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
