Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites can identify these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members, thus resulting in a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated places, the chance of termite ingress through untreated gaps is far lower.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the colony which creates a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in locations where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early discivery of termites. These systems are especially helpful when the layout of a building makes it hard to create effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.
