Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all locations are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them once again.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals are not detected by termites, and so they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites will go over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a compounding effect.

As termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
