Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover these gaps and gain access.

The most commonly utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

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