Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals easy to detect and a good deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, termites will identify these gaps and could potentially gain access.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

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

The most common used non repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems can be used to eliminate termites from buildings by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix as opposed to the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

A whole termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this manner, even in cases where the position of the nest is unknown. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in positions where there is termite activity.

An In-Ground System is used in a similar way, but they are usually installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. Systems such as these are useful when the design of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not impacted by weather
• Safe for youngsters and pets
• Ecologically smart

The Signs Of Termite Infestation

• Wood is damaged or disintegrating
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?
