Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

The often frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is restricted.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be eliminated, 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 Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
