Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and strongy avoided, so they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are reached, or the treated areas become compromised, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they do not avoid the treated areas, they go 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 result.

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

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. 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 used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a house makes it hard to install adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
