Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a good deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments are not detected by termites, and they don’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical onto fellow colony members, resulting in a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t detect non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems can 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 termites then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed white ant activity. In this manner, the entire colony can be sradicated even if its location is unknown.

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