Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they will not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in 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 they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building makes it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
