Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, then termites can detect the gaps and gain ingress through them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can also transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most often used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the structures that they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure can make it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
