Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite access through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even if you don’t 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 are employed in a similar fashion, however they are generally placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
