Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility for termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the dwelling by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire colony may be eradicated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically placed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
