Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide excellent protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access through them once again.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they will not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

The common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your 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 wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding result.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
