Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Because the termites do not identify non repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access via possible gaps is reduced.

The frequently used non repellent option is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they’re generally situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.
