Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and access the home.

The often widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they move through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites will often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber they have been infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a building makes it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
