Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants can also pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they are usually placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
