Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, so they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them once again.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

An In Ground System is utilised in a similar fashion, but they are generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the building can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
