Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated places aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then white ants can detect the breaks and again access the property.

The most commonly applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated locations, the potential for termite access through untreated gaps is far lower.

The often common non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix instead of the structures that they have been 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 then feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be erradicated, even though you do not know the actual location of the colony. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

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

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for use around kids and pets
• Environmentally sound

How You Can Determine If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

There are many indications your house suffers from a termite infestation:

• Small holes found in drywall and/or wood
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the home
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony

Can Termites Badly Damage My Dwelling?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that white ants are able to do a significant amount of damage to structures. In fact, even a single nest of termites can render a dwelling unlivable if the problem is severe enough.
