Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify the breaks and access the home.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants 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 nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a swelling makes it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
