Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is a regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t stay away from the treated areas. As a result of this, white ants will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will pass the chemical onto other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Because termites do not detect non repellents, they don’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is reduced.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix instead of the structures that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed that bait to other colony members.

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

An In Ground System is employed in a similar fashion, but they are frequently situated around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the design of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Unaffected by weather
• No danger for children & pets
