Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through gaps.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored 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 can 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 catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
