Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can’t be treated because of access issues, the termites will identify those gaps and gain ingress via them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and those that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat features a residual life of up to eight years following application.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses 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.

Ongoing 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 sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Baiting Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
