Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making 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 covered, white ants can identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can also transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they are frequently placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
