Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or areas cannot be treated as a result of access issues, then white ants may identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites in the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on result.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
