Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites may recognise the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The most commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and those which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber they were eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems can 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
