Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide great protection in treated locations. If not all areas can be reached, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can identify those gaps and gain access via them once again.

The regularly frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may often pass the chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Since the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

The frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the colony is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is difficult to create.
