Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is much lower.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can 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 termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest 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 are used in a similar fashion, however they are usually placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
