Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, white ants can identify these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

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

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t detected by termites, and so they won’t avoid the chemical. As a result of this, termites move through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites transfer the chemical onto other colony members, resulting in a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is lower.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this manner, the whole colony can be eliminated even though the location of the colony is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
