Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

The regularly commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility for termite ingress via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from your house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

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

In Ground Systems can 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
