Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer 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.
