Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and once again access the home.

The often commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

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

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

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