Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily sensed by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense these gaps and access the property.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may also pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites do not identify non-repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated areas, and thus access via possible gaps is restricted.

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

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting until 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 that bait to further colony members.

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

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often 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 white ants before they breach the perimeter.
