Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate 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 and not the structures they were infesting 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 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 nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
