Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

Fipronil is the most widely used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even though 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling can make it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
