Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because the termites can not identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they were infesting until recently. 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 other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location is unknown.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
