Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide great protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them once again.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

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

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other members of the colony which creates a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed pest activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a house will make it challenging to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even just one colony of white ants can do an unexpected amount of destruction. The building may even become unlivable as a result of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, can even be unrepairable.
