Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites don’t identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is restricted.

The most often used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your house by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they are eating. This kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

In this fashion, the nest can be eliminated even when the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of new bait stations, or if they should be moved to another place.

In Ground Systems are generally installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of a structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
