Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated because of access issues, then white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

The most commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

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

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
