Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later onor areas cannot be treated because of access difficulties, the white ants will identify those breaks and attain ingress through those areas.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that has a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they pass through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas which are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the wood they have been infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, but they are frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite infestation. These systems are useful when the design of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.
