Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

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

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to eliminate termites in your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
