Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites quickly detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some areas can not be treated due to access problems, the white ants may identify the gaps and gain access through them.

Bifenthrin has a residual lifetime of as many as five years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they do not avoid the chemical, they will pass through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Since termites can not detect non repellents, they are not able to tell the difference between untreated and treated areas, so entrance through possible gaps is significantly reduced.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

Ongoing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this manner, the entire nest can be exterminated even if its location is unknown.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are typically situated around the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Not affected by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

• Holes in the drywall and timber

• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the termite colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?
