Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify the gaps and again access the property.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites will also pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they find no difference between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from buildings by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this fashion, the colony can be eliminated even when the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

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