Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later or some places can’t be treated as a result of access issues, then termites may identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Because the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding effect.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home can make it tricky to install adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems
