Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the residence by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were attacking. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

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

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
