Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can sense these breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify 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.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
