Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than 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 eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest 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 activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a swelling can make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
