Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can identify the gaps and get access via them.

The most frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have exposure to them. In addition, termites can transfer the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot identify non repellents, they are not able to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is much reduced.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a flow on result.

In this fashion, the whole colony may be eliminated even though the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
