Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after contact with them. In addition, individual termites will transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the structure design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
