Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants may identify the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. In addition, termites will transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding result.

Because termites do not detect non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.
