Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these breaks and again access the building.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even though you do not 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 may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

• Not affected by weather
• No danger to kids & pets
