Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

The often widely applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites can not identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
