Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites as they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical application, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat has a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a compounding result.

Since the termites don’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible gaps.

The regularly applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is often used to get rid of termites from your dwelling, by placing bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, thus creating a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this manner, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they are in positions where there is termite activity.

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 particularly useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Benefits

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• An environmentally smart solution
