Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and can potentially get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites can’t detect non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The often used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to get rid of termites in the structure, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. Also, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony can be exterminated, even though 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 way, but they are generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the structure may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting
