Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection for treated locations. However, if not all areas can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify those gaps and gain access through them once again.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, having a residual life span of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via untreated gaps is far lower.

Fipronil is a commonly used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to erradicate termites from the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even though you do not know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems are generally installed around 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.
