Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites can recognise these gaps and could sometimes gain access.

The most frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will go over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell untreated from treated areas, and are less likely to gain access via possible gaps.

The regularly applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a building, 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 eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire nest can be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to help in early detection of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a building will make it difficult to have effective perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to identify and forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Ecologically sound

Common Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you might have a termite problem include:

• Tiny holes in the drywall and/or timber
• Wood which is damaged and breaking down
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Winged termites or alates may be seen leaving the nest

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

If left untreated, even a single nest of white ants are capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The building may even become unusable as a result of the significance of the infestation, and in extreme cases, can even be unrepairable.
