Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain entry.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

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

The often applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on result.

In this fashion, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar fashion, but they’re generally installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
