Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a swelling makes it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
