Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor locations can’t be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants may identify the gaps and gain access through those areas.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants will also transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Since the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

Fipronil is the most widely used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is frequently used to get rid of termites from your structure, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the wood. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, thus creating a flow on effect.

Ongoing 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 colony can be elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.
