Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated locations. If not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life expectancy of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellents, they will not recognise untreated and treated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 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 pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a compounding result.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a home will make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
