Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later or places cannot be treated as a result of access problems, then white ants can identify the breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Since termites don’t identify non repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on effect.

The entire nest can be eradicated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the nest 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 especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
