Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

In this way, the colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
