Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated as a result of access problems, the white ants will detect the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they will not stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

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

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar fashion, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Ecologically smart
