Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is much reduced.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this fashion, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
