Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and those 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 eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
