Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and can potentially gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrin, which features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals are not detected by termites, and so the termites do not stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and may transfer the chemical on to other colony members, therefore resulting in a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non repellents, they won’t recognise treated and untreated locations, and therefore access through possible gaps is much less likely.

The most common used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites within 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 eating until recently. As well as killing the white ants that consume the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to other colony members.

In this way, the whole termite colony will be erradicated, even though you do not 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 useful when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they catch the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Baiting System Advantages

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for kids and pets
• Ecologically Friendly

Common Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

A number of signs that you might have a termite infestation include:

• Little holes in drywall and/or timber
• Wood which is damaged and disintegrating
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Mounds or nests can be found in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

Can Termites Damage My Home?
