Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good protection from termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover the gaps and gain ingress.

The regularly commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they go through the residue and die. Additionally, individual termites may also pass these chemicals to other members of the colony, generating a flow on and efficient result.

Since the termites do not identify non repellents, they won’t recognise the difference between treated and untreated places, and thus access through possible gaps is much less likely.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual life of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the structure. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be erradicated, even if you do not 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.

In Ground Baiting Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger for youngsters & pets
• Environmentally smart

The Telltale Indications Of Termite Infestation

These are the common signs you have termites:

• Holes bored in timber panels
• Wood is crumbling or damaged
• Mud Tubes on the wood, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork or in subfloor areas
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the nest

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

When left untreated, even a single colony of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The home can even become unusable as a result of the severity of the problem, and in the extreme, can even be unrepairable.
