Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they don’t stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites go over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual insects will pass the chemical to fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not 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 especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
