Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and so they will not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building can make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
