Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites may recognise these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they don’t avoid the chemical. Because of this, white ants pass over the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual insects will transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise untreated and treated places, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 placed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a swelling can make it difficult to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
