Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there’s a break in the chemical, either from a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain entry.

The often commonly applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. As a result, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result are killed after contact with them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since termites cannot detect non-repellents, they are unable to know the difference between untreated and treated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably reduced.

The most often used non-repellent option is Fipronilthat has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after treatment.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to eliminate termites from your home by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and thus enticing the white ants to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. The worker termites then feed the bait to other individuals in the colony which produces a compounding effect.

Continuing monitoring and assessment allows the bait stations to be re-baited, added to or moved, based on the observed white ant activity. In this fashion, the entire nest can be sradicated even if its location is not known.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar way, however they’re generally installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a pending termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the structure can prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• No danger for the kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Signs That You Have Termites

There are several signs your house has a white ant infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and/or wood
• Timber is disintegrating or damaged
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on timber, floorboards, ceilings, brick work or in underfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

When left untreated, even just one colony of white ants can do an unexpected amount of destruction. The dwelling may even become unusable due to the significance of the issue, and in extreme cases, can even be unrepairable.
