Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor places cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, the termites may identify those gaps and gain access through those areas.

The often frequently used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so they do not avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Also, individual termites will transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites can’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are much less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life expectancy of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even though you do not 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 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 important when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
