Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and get access through them.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they won’t avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites go over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a home can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
