Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

The entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
