Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants can detect those gaps and attain ingress via them.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the possibility for termite access via non-treated gaps is much lower.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of as many as eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

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

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 detection of white ants. These systems are especially helpful when the design of a structure can make it tricky to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
