Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

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

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which results in a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed around 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 detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
