Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the potential for termite access via untreated gaps is far lower.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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 are used in a similar manner, but they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.
