Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t steer clear of the chemical. Because of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even though you don’t 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a building makes it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
