Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and again access the property.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
