Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or places can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the termites may detect the breaks and attain ingress through those areas.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
