Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, termites may identify the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites may also pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, providing a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated places, and therefore access via possible gaps is limited.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from homes by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location isn’t known.

In-Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially essential when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.
