Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may also transfer the chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential of termite access through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from buildings 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 termites 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 elimited even if its location is not known.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
