Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor places can not be treated because of access problems, the termites may identify the gaps and gain ingress via those areas.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance for termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

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

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites from your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the termites to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other colony members, therefore creating a flow on result.

In this fashion, the whole colony can be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building will make it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.
