Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and once again access the home.

The often frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding result.

In this manner, the colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

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