Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, in the event the treated places are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the house.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

The entire nest can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, however they are usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the property can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
