Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites are unable to identify 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 often used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Various 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 timber they have been attacking. This soon kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the entire nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building will make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

• Not influenced by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
