Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals straighforward to detect and an excellent deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify these gaps and could sometimes get in.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t identify these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to erradicate termites within a home, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed upon the bait matrix rather than the timber that they were eating until recently. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this fashion, the nest may be eliminated even when the position of the colony isn’t known. The stations should be monitored and assessed regularly in case the situation should call for stations to be rebaited, the addition of more bait stations, or if they should be moved.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed around the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a building may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• No danger to kids & pets
• Environmentally Smart

How You Can Tell If Your House Is Infested With Termites

General signs that your home is infested with termites:

• Holes bored in timber panels
• Damaged or decaying timber
• "Mud tubes" appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

What Damage Can Termites Cause?

When left untreated, even just one nest of white ants is capable of doing an unexpected amount of destruction. The building may even become unsafe because of the severity of the infestation, and in extreme cases, may be unrepairable.
