Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them great for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated locations are not completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect these gaps and once again access the house.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and can also pass the chemical on to other colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Since termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is a lot less likely.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from a dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the timber they have been eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of a house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
