Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them once again.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after exposure to them. In addition, termites will transfer these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on effect.

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

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
