Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and once again access the property.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

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

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants 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 can be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
