Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and get access through them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may also transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than 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.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position 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 in order that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they are frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
