Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting places because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. If treated locations are compromised later onor some areas cannot be treated as a result of access difficulties, then termites can identify those breaks and attain access via them.

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

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants can also transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient effect.

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

The frequently used non-repellent option is Fipronil, which has a residual life of as many as eight years following treatment.

Termite Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is regularly used to eliminate termites in the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on result.

The entire colony may be destroyed in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the activity.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the house may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.
