Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and once again access the property.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite colony 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 Systems can 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
