Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure can make it difficult to have adequate perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
