Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants can often transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated locations, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

The commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your home by placing bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.
