Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there’s a break in the chemical application, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can identify these gaps and gain access.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will also pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore resulting in a flow on effect.

Because termites cannot identify non-repellents, they are not able to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance via possible gaps is significantly reduced.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

An Above Ground System is regularly used to get rid of termites in the home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the white ants to feed on the bait rather than the structure. In addition, when worker termites return to the colony, they unknowingly transfer the bait to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

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 especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for all your family & pets

How You Can Determine If Your House Is Infested With Termites

Here are some telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Miniscule holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Damaged or collapsing timber
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the home
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites or alates may be noticed swarming from the nest

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of doing quite a lot of damage to a home. If the problem becomes severe enough, your dwelling may potentially become unusable.
