Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and again access the property.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants may often pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate area.

In-Ground Systems can 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 white ants before the perimeter is breached.
