Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated locations. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and get access through them once again.

The most widely applied repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by the termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they have been infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they are in places where there is termite activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the structure may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
