Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection around treated places. However, if the treated areas are not completely covered, or if they later get compromised, termites can sense these breaks and access the building.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of up to five years and is the most widely used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they do not stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual insects will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites cannot identify non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your residence by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills the termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar manner, but they’re usually installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the home can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the perimeter.
