Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find chemicals straighforward to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. However, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise the gaps and can potentially get in.

The often widely used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and will pass the chemical on to fellow colony members, thus causing a compounding result.

Since termites can’t identify non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access via possible gaps is considerably reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent available today, and has a residual lifetime of up to eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are utilised to eliminate termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus encouraging the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding result.

An entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the termite activity.

In Ground Systems are used in a similar manner, however they are often placed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early detection of white ants. These systems are particularly useful when the layout of a structure can make it challenging to install adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Green

The Telltale Warning Signs Of Termite Infestation

General signs that your residence has a termite infestation:

• Holes bored in timber panels
• Wood which is damaged and collapsing
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, timber, ceiling and/or subfloor
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of termites (white ants) is capable of causing significant amounts of damage to a dwelling. If the problem becomes serious enough, the property could potentially become unusable.
