Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

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

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Since termites can’t identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites in your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a compounding effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be elimited 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 aid in early detection of termites. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure makes it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
