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 aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify the gaps and access the property.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to erradicate termites from your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure makes it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
