Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated because of access difficulties, the termites will identify those breaks and attain ingress via those areas.

The often widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they see no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

In this way, the entire colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Systems are generally 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 intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.
