There are a number of treatments possible and each one has its advantages and draw backs.

Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect the breaks and access the home.

The often commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a building will make it difficult to create adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
