Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can sense these gaps and again access the property.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and thus the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The often used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which results in a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they are in positions where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, but they are frequently placed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the boundary.
