Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated due to access issues, then white ants will identify the breaks and attain access via them.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they 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 that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since termites don’t identify non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

The most often used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the structure by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they are attacking. This soon kills the 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 nest members.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is not known.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design means that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to create.
