Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is 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 these gaps and gain access.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the residence by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

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