Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access through them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via breaks.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a compounding result.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
