Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas can’t be treated due to access problems, the white ants will detect those breaks and attain ingress via them.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient effect.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can 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 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.

In this fashion, the colony may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
