Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect these gaps and again access the property.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight 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 instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
