Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some places can’t be treated as a result of access issues, then termites will detect the breaks and gain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

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

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much less likely.

The most frequently used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this manner, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
