Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some places can not be treated as a result of access issues, then termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes 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 white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
