Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated areas. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated areas become compromised, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them once again.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus are killed after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites can pass these chemicals on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible gaps.

The regularly common non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then pass on 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 the observed white ant activity. In this way, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

In Ground Systems can 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
