Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The often frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are 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.

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

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 especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
