Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

How Problematic Are Termites?
