Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, which makes them perfect for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, white ants can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The most frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by the termites. Given they do not avoid the treated areas, they will move through the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They will also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance of termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, which features a lasting effect of up to eight years following application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the structures they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

An entire colony may be destroyed in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

An In Ground System is employed in a similar way, but they’re generally situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. These systems are especially useful when the construction of the dwelling can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they can breach the perimeter.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for all your family including pets
• An environmentally smart solution

The Indications Of A Termite Infestation

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

• Small holes found in drywall or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating wood
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, wood, ceiling and/or sub floor
• Trees in the area show signs of nests & mounds
• Winged termites or alates can be noticed leaving the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Cause?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) are capable of doing a lot of damage to a house. If the problem becomes bad enough, your home may potentially become unusable.
