Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, termites will move over the chemical and die because of exposure to it. Also, individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through possible breaks.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are frequently used to eliminate termites in the home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, thus causing a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
