Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for protection around treated areas. However, if the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and again access the house.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may also transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The regularly common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

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

The entire colony can be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

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

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe for kids and pets
• Ecologically sound
