Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to identify and a strong deterrent, making them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can identify the gaps and can potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they pass through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals on to other members in the colony, resulting in a flow on and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated locations, the possibility of termite access via untreated gaps is much lower.

The regularly used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to remove termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus tempting the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other members of the nest which creates a flow on effect.

An entire termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in instances where the position of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are generally installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially 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 Advantages

• Flexible protection system
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
• Eco-friendly

Signs You Are Dealing With Termite Infestation

• Small holes found in drywall and/or wood
• Wood is damaged and disintegrating
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the house
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?
