Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may 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 locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the house design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.
