Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily identified by termites and strongy avoided, they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all locations can be reached, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can identify the gaps and get access via them once again.

The frequently used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual lifetime of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and the ones which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

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

In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a swelling can make it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.
