Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can recognise these gaps and gain access.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites go through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to eliminate termites from the house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the whole nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they are frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
