Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly detect and choose to avoid them. If treated areas are compromised later or locations cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the termites may identify the gaps and gain access via them.

The regularly commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and thus die after they have contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

As termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and people that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

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

Termite Baiting Systems

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

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even if you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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