Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and could potentially get in.

The regularly frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which produces a flow on effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home will make it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
