Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or some locations cannot be treated due to access difficulties, the white ants can detect those breaks and gain ingress through them.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are not sensed by termites, and therefore the termites do not stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not detect non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access via possible breaks.

The frequently used non-repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as 8 years after application.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites in a dwelling, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix rather than the wood that they were eating until now. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful when the dwelling design means that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

How You Can Tell If Your House Is Infested With Termites

There are many signs your home has a white ant infestation:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and wood
• Wood that is damaged and disintegrating
• Presence of mud tubes on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Trees in the area show signs of nests & mounds
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Really Do?

It surprises many people to learn that termites could cause a great deal of harm to structures. In fact, just one colony of termites can render a building unusable if the problem is severe enough. Set your mind at ease; call Cattai Termite Pest Control and have one of our termite protection experts examine your Cattai property as soon as possible.
