Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access via them.

The often commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may often pass these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Since termites cannot detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

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

An entire colony can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

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