Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can detect these gaps and access the house.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is frequently used to erradicate termites in your property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
