Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a residual life of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and die. In addition, individual termites may often pass the chemicals on to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient result.

Because termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they find no distinction between areas that are treated and others that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most applied non repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the residence by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore encouraging the pests to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which creates a flow on result.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on observed termite activity. In this way, the entire colony can be elimited even if its location isn’t known.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a house can make it hard to have effective perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to forestall termites before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Advantages

• Termite protection system is flexible
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Holes in the drywall or wood
• Damaged or crumbling timber
• "Mud tubes" appearing on the ceiling, floors, woodwork, brick work and subfloor areas
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the building
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony
