Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise the gaps and gain ingress.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated places, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent available today, and features a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

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 particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
