Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

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

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the potential of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole nest may be eliminated even though the position 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 location.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
