Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, white ants go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the building by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are attacking. This soon kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure will make it tricky to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
