Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can detect these gaps and access the home.

The most widely utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they’re frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
