Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, 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 identify these gaps and gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be exterminated, 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.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, however they are usually situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
