Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

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

A widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a structure by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they have been eating. This kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

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

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
