Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of up to five years and is a commonly used chemical repellent currently available.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. In addition, individual white ants will often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, providing a compounding and efficient effect.

Because termites are unable to identify these non-repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil which has a residual life span of up to 8 years.

Understanding Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. These termites then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which results in a flow on effect.

An entire nest may be exterminated in this way, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

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

Baiting System Advantages

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for children and pets
• Eco friendly

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your residence has a termite infestation:

• Holes in the drywall and timber
• Wood that is damaged and crumbling
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, timber, ceiling or sub-floor
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (or alates) may be noticed swarming from the nest
