Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain entry.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated locations to non-treated places, the potential of termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

In this way, the colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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