Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

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

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses 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.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the layout of a swelling can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
