Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can’t be treated due to access issues, then termites will detect the gaps and attain ingress via them.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated places, and thus die after exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress via untreated gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your house by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on result.

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

An In-Ground System is employed in a similar way, however they’re generally placed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the home may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.
