Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated places. However, if the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can identify the breaks and once again access the home.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as five years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because the termites don’t identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
