Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, if the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can detect the gaps and access the building.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from structures by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of 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 manner, the entire colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In-Ground Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
