Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites can identify the gaps and could sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

As termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a residual life of as many as 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate 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 rather than the wood they were infesting up to now. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
