Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites because they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites can identify these gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can often transfer these chemicals on to other members of the colony, generating a compounding and efficient effect.

As termites are unable to identify these non repellents, they find no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be less ingress through gaps.

The most frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life as high as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes 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 termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

An entire nest can be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In-Ground Systems are usually installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a residence may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can detect and eliminate white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger for children & pets
• Eco-friendly

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

Typical signs that your house has a termite infestation:

• Small holes in the drywall and/or wood
• Damaged or disintegrating wood

How Destructive Are Termites?

When left untreated, even a single colony of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The building may even become unlivable as a result of the significance of the infestation, and in the extreme, can be unrepairable.
