Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated places. However, in the event the treated locations are not fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and access the home.

The most widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most commonly used non repellent option is Fipronilthat features a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a flow on result.

In this manner, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
