Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these gaps and access the home.

The regularly widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the home by placing bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be erradicated, even when you don’t 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a structure makes it challenging to have effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
