Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily identify and strongly avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated because of access issues, then white ants can detect those breaks and gain ingress through those areas.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites will often pass these chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t identify non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are regularly used to erradicate termites in the property, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, creating a flow on result.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even though the position of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
