Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, but they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
