Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or areas can not be treated because of access issues, the white ants will detect those gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

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