Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide good protection for treated areas. If not all locations are treated, or the treated locations become compromised, white ants can identify the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Consequently, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and thus die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, individual termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, creating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress through non-treated gaps is much lower.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is commonly used to eliminate termites from your house, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a flow on result.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the position of the colony is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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