Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated places are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and access the home.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. As a result, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronilthat has a residual life of up to eight years after application.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting previously. 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.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a home will make it tricky to create effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
