Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these gaps and once again access the building.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

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

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the timber they were infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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

Baiting System Benefits
