Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them great for providing protection on treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, white ants can detect the gaps and again access the house.

The most widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding result.

Because the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

The most commonly used non-repellent treatment is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the pests to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a compounding effect.

In this manner, the nest may be eliminated even when the location of the nest is not known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

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

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for the kids and pets

Signs That You May Have Termites

Here are some telltale signs that you have a termite infestation:

• Timber in the dwelling has tiny holes
• Damaged or collapsing wood
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony

Can Termites Damage My Dwelling?

If left untreated, even just one colony of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction.
