Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants will also transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
