Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent chemicals are not identified by termites, and they will not steer clear of the chemical. As a result of this, white ants move over the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites don’t detect non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures they were eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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