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 areas are treated, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access via breaks.

The most often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from the residence, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, creating a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

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 intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
