Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your home by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a building makes it challenging to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
