Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later onor some locations can not be treated as a result of access problems, the termites will detect the gaps and gain ingress through those areas.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will also pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is reduced.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

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

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 colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar manner, but they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
