Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for protection around treated places. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they are later compromised, then termites can identify the breaks and again access the home.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to 5 years and is the most widely used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Since the termites do not detect non repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to consume a poison bait rather than the structure. These termites then pass on the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a compounding effect.

In this manner, the colony may be eliminated even though the position of the nest is not known. The stations should be monitored and assessed frequently in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to another location.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially invaluable when the design of the building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of A Termite Baiting System

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to kids or pets
• Ecologically Friendly

Common Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

• Minute holes in drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged or crumbling
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the wood, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork or in subfloor areas
• Trees show signs of colonys & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the colony

In fact, even just one nest of termites can render a building unlivable if the problem is severe enough.
