Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them great for providing protection around treated locations. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and again access the property.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants may also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot reduced.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a compounding effect.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Ecologically Friendly
