Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or places can’t be treated because of access problems, then termites can detect those gaps and attain ingress through them.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures they were infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a structure will make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
