Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain entry.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even if 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.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the residence design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to install.
