Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these breaks and access the home.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the treated areas. As a result of this, termites move through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be eliminated, 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.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
