There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its benefits and limitations.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a residual life of as many as 8 years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your residence by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the timber they were attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure will make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
