Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants will recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they do not stay away from the chemical. Because of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

A frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites in your home, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the termites to feed on the bait as opposed to the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

The entire colony can be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant 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 termites before they breach the perimeter.
