Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover the gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can 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 instead of 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 colony will be erradicated, even though you don’t 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.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building can make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
