Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all areas are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as eight years after application.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may 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 as opposed to 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.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a house makes it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
