Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly identify and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas cannot be treated because of access issues, the white ants may detect the gaps and attain access via those areas.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites can’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

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

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for children and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs That You Have Termites

• Tiny holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Wood that is damaged and breaking down
• "Mud tubes" appear on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
