Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection around treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can sense the gaps and once again access the home.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can not detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
