Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may identify these gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after contact with them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since the termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is limited.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding result.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, 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 Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
