Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain entry.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of up to 5 years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they go over 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 creating a compounding effect.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated places to non-treated locations, the chance of termite ingress via non-treated gaps is lower.

The most commonly used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites in the property, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait instead of the timber. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they unknowingly feed the bait to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

In this manner, the whole colony may be eliminated even when the location of the colony is unknown. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of new bait stations, or if they should be moved.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar fashion, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

Typical signs that your dwelling is infested with termites:

• Timber in the dwelling has tiny holes
• Wood is damaged and decaying
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Swarms of alates flying from the nest

How Problematic Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The dwelling can even become unusable because of the severity of the infestation, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
