Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the house.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

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

The commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

An entire nest 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 required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
