Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify the breaks and access the home.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants can often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated places, the possibility of termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood they were eating up to now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the boundary.
