Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can sense the gaps and once again access the home.

The most widely utilised chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t identifiable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access through breaks.

The common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to eight years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the termites to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

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