Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t detect non-repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
