Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some locations can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the termites can identify the breaks and attain access through them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, termites will pass over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been 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 then feed that bait to other colony members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

While In-Ground Systems can be used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the building design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
