Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain access.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate 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 structures they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

An In Ground System is used in a similar manner, however they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.
