Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly identified by termites and avoided. So they provide good protection in treated areas. If not all locations can be treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and get access via them.

The most frequently utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. In addition, individual termites can transfer these chemicals to other colony members, causing a compounding result.

Since the termites can not detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through gaps.

A commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your building by positioning bait stations directly on white ant evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they were attacking. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the design of a building makes it difficult to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
