Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated places are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can sense these breaks and access the home.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

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

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from the residence, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding result.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

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 intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
