Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The most frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to get rid of termites in the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will 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.

While In Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.
