Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some areas can not be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants will identify the gaps and attain ingress through those areas.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual lifetime of up to 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also transfer the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated areas to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your residence by positioning bait stations at the site of white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been attacking. This soon kills those 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.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems may 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
