Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these gaps and again access the building.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a structure will make it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
