Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

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

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the nest can be eliminated even though the location of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, but they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for children and pets
• Eco-friendly
