Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals offer good defense against termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can discover the gaps and gain access.

The most widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of as much as five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they pass through the residue and die. Additionally, individual white ants may often transfer these chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Because the termites do not detect these non-repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated places, and are much less likely to gain access through possible gaps.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non-repellent on the market, and has a residual life of as much as eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to eliminate termites within a residence, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood that they were infesting until now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest can be exterminated, even when you don’t 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.

While In Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are particularly useful where the residence design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is hard to install.

Baiting System Benefits

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• Eco-friendly

The Signs Of Termite Infestation

There are many signs your dwelling suffers from a white ant infestation:

• Holes in timber panels
• Wood which is damaged and disintegrating
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the building
• Trees show signs of nests & mounds
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming from the colony

What Destruction Can Termites Do?

If left untreated, even a single colony of white ants is capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage. The house can even become unsafe because of the severity of the infestation, and in the extreme, may even be unrepairable.
