Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to get rid of termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other members of the colony, creating a flow on effect.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite 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 especially useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
