Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or some places can not be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to further colony members.

Continuing 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 colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure makes it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
