Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and strongy avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated locations. However, if not all locations are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

The most frequently utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can pass these chemicals to other colony members, creating a flow on effect.

Given termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the possibility of termite ingress via untreated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronilthat features a residual life of as many as 8 years following application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your home by placing bait stations directly on white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix rather than the wood they were attacking. This kills those termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even if 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.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar manner, they are typically placed around the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the home design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
