Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, however they are generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger for youngsters & pets

How Destructive Are Termites?
