Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting locations because termites easily detect and strongly avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor locations can’t be treated due to access issues, then white ants can detect those breaks and gain access through those areas.

The commonly used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, that features a residual life of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals aren’t detectable by the termites. Given they don’t avoid the treated areas, they move over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also pass the chemical on to other colony members that they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress through non-treated gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the termites feed on the bait matrix and not the timber that they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the position of the nest is unknown. It is essential to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved in order that they continue to be in places where there is termite activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful when the home design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for kids and pets

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

Here are some telltale signs of a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and/or timber
• Wood which is damaged and collapsing
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

How Destructive Can Termites Be?

When left untreated, even a single nest of termites are capable of doing a surprising amount of damage. The structure can even become unusable because of the significance of the infestation, and in extreme cases, can be unrepairable.
