Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and can potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

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

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

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
