Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals straighforward to identify and a good deterrent, making them perfect for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and can sometimes gain access.

The frequently used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a residual life of as many as five years after application.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and therefore the termites do not avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and may transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus causing a flow on effect.

Since termites do not detect non repellents, they will not recognise the difference between treated and untreated areas, and therefore access through possible gaps is limited.

Fipronil is a commonly used non repellent available today, and features a residual lifetime of as much as 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from homes by positioning 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 feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the entire termite colony will be eliminated, even if 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 can 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 intercept the white ants before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Not affected by weather
• No danger to children & pets
• Ecologically sound

Common Signs You Are Facing Termite Infestation

• Holes bored in timber panels
• Damaged or collapsing timber
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the timber, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork or in subfloor areas
• Obvious termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the building
• Alates (winged termites) flying from the colony

In fact, even a single colony of termites can render a home unlivable if the problem is severe enough.
