Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

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

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

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

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
