Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily detected by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can identify these breaks and once again access the building.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual life expectancy of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they go through the chemical and die after 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 effect.

Because termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access via non-treated gaps is far lower.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the structures that they have been eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

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

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