Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, if the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can identify these breaks and access the home.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because termites do not identify non repellents, they will not recognise treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

The regularly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your residence by placing bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been attacking. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the colony is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
