Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which produces a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
