Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and access the house.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

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

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home will make it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
