Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or locations can not be treated because of access problems, then white ants will detect those gaps and attain access through those areas.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites can often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because the termites don’t identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise the difference between untreated and treated locations, and therefore access via possible gaps is restricted.

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

Various Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to get rid of termites from the dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus causing a flow on result.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the house design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.
