Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can identify the gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

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

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

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures that they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house will make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
