Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the entire colony can be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
