Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in your structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus creating a compounding result.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly installed around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the structure design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
