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 or places can’t be treated because of access difficulties, then white ants will detect those gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is a lot less likely.

The commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from your dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the wood. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on result.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another area.

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