Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites may identify these gaps and could potentially get in.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and so they won’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto fellow colony members, causing a flow on result.

Because termites are unable to detect these non repellents, they see no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

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