Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a break 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 ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as 5 years and is the most widely used repellent chemical currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Since termites do not detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a home by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
