Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection in treated areas. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

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

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout 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 swelling can make it hard to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
