Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting places because termites easily detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor areas can’t be treated due to access difficulties, then white ants will identify those breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated areas, and as a result die after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is significantly less likely.

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to eight years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your home by positioning bait stations at the site of termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they are eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, 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 especially invaluable when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
