Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can identify the breaks and again access the home.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 utilised in a similar way, however they’re generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
