Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this manner, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially useful when the design of a swelling makes it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
