Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
