Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are easily sensed by termites / white ants, which makes them very useful for protection on treated areas. However, in the event the treated areas are not fully covered, or if they later get compromised, then termites can sense the gaps and again access the property.

The often commonly utilised repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of up to five years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites don’t detect these repellents. Because of this, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. Additionally, termites will pass the chemical on to other colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not detect non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress through possible breaks.

Fipronil is a widely used non-repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be exterminated, even when you do not know the actual location of the nest. 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 are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often positioned around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are especially useful when the layout of a structure makes it challenging to have adequate perimeter barriers, since it is then possible to intercept white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection against termites
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger for kids & pets
• Environmentally friendly

Common Warning Signs Of A Termite Infestation

• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on the brickwork, timber, ceiling and/or subfloor areas
• Colonys or mounds in trees
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?
