Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t detect non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is much less likely.

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a residence by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling makes it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
