Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places cannot be treated as a result of access issues, then white ants can identify the breaks and gain ingress via them.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often transfer the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated areas, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

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