Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest can be exterminated, even if 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 manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a swelling can make it hard to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
