Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and get access through them once again.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated areas, the possibility for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is far lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from a building by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In-Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.
