Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will often pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access through non-treated gaps is far lower.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a home by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are eating. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
