Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants will identify these gaps and can sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites can’t tell apart treated places to non-treated areas, the potential of termite access via non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Through use of an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your dwelling by positioning bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they are attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

An entire nest may be eradicated in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed 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 detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
