Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection for treated areas. If not all areas are treated, or the treated locations become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of up to five years after application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellent treatments are not identified by termites, and they will not avoid the treated areas. Because of this, termites will move through the chemical and die because of contact with it. Individual termites pass the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding result.

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

A widely used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from the home by placing bait stations directly on termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the wood they have been eating. This kills those termites that ingest the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed that bait to fellow colony members.

Continuing 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 elimited even if its location is not known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to aid in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building can make it difficult to create effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for all your family & pets
• Ecologically sound

How To Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

A number of signs that you could have a termite problem include:

• Little holes found in drywall or timber
• Wood that is damaged or decaying
• "Mud tubes" appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds below trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The building can even become unsafe as a result of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, can be unrepairable.
