Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are useful for protecting areas because termites quickly identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated areas are compromised later or places can’t be treated due to access problems, the white ants can identify the breaks and gain ingress via those areas.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will move through the residue and then die. In addition, individual termites may often transfer the chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non-repellents, they see no difference between areas that are treated and people which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil with a residual life expectancy of as much as eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to eliminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the timber that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the colony. 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 Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Advantages OF Termite Baiting

• Flexible protection against white ants
• Not impacted by weather conditions
• Safe for all the family including pets
• Ecologically Friendly

Common Signs Of A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you could have a termite problem include:

• Minute holes in the drywall or timber
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• The presence of mud tubes on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Trees in the area show signs of nests & mounds
• Swarms of alates flying from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The building can even become unusable as a result of the severity of the infestation, and in extreme cases, can be irreparable.
