Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide great protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, termites can recognise those gaps and get access through them.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may also pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient effect.

Because the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated places, and are much less likely to gain access via gaps.

The frequently used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual lifespan of as much as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your building by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they are eating. This kills those termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

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

In-Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
