Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites from the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on effect.

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

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
