Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, which makes them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. Unfotunately however, if areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is a problem and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise these gaps and can sometimes gain access.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a widely used chemical repellent available today.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non-repellent chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and they won’t stay away from the treated areas. Because of this, white ants move over the chemical and die as a result of exposure to it. Also, individual insects transfer the chemical to fellow colony members, causing a compounding effect.

Since the termites don’t detect non-repellents, they do not recognise the difference between treated and untreated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is reduced.

Fipronil is the most commonly used non repellent on the market, and has a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the termites feed upon the bait matrix and not the wood they have been infesting previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members.

In this way, the entire termite nest will be erradicated, even though 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 installed throughout properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of white ants. These systems are particularly helpful when the design of a home will make it hard to create adequate perimeter barriers, as it is then possible to identify and forestall white ants before they breach the perimeter.

Baiting System Benefits

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not influenced by weather conditions
• No danger to kids & pets
• An environmentally smart solution

How To Tell If Your House Is Infested With Termites

• Small holes in the drywall and timber
• Wood that is damaged and collapsing
• Presence of mud tubes on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Swarms of winged termites flying from the termite nest

What Destruction Can Termites Do?
