Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise the gaps and can sometimes get in.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite 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 instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they’re frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
