Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants will recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

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

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the chemical, they will go through the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

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

The most commonly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a residual life of up to 8 years following treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from your residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. The worker termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed pest activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems may 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 vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to kids & pets
• Environmentally Friendly

How To Identify If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

Here are some telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Timber in the dwelling has holes
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• Presence of mud tubes on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The building may even become unusable because of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
