Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated because of access issues, then termites can identify those breaks and attain access through them.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

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

The commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from the house, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

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 design of a swelling can make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
