Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
