Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access through untreated gaps is lower.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the building design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.

What Destruction Can Termites Do?
