Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can discover these gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin has a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites can not detect non repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most commonly used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the structures they were eating 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 the bait to other colony members.

An entire colony can be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly invaluable when the design of a home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
