Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them excellent for providing protection around treated places. However, if the treated locations aren’t completely covered, or if they are later compromised, then white ants can detect the gaps and access the home.

The regularly frequently applied repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of as much as five years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals are not detected by termites, and thus the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants will soon die, and may also transfer the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they cannot tell treated from untreated areas, and are much less likely to gain access through breaks.

The most common used non-repellent is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as eight years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

An Above Ground System is commonly used to erradicate termites from your home, by locating bait stations directly on termite paths to encourage the pests to feed on the bait instead of the structure. Also, when these termites return to the colony, they transfer the bait to other colony members, thus causing a flow on result.

A whole termite nest or colony can be eliminated in this way, even in situations where the location of the nest is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations frequently so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved to make sure they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

While In Ground Systems are utilised in a similar manner, they are more commonly situated throughout the property to provide an early detection and interception system. These systems are particularly useful where the building design means that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Timber in the home has small holes
• Wood which is damaged and crumbling
• Evidence of mud tubes on brickwork, timber, ceiling and subfloor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Winged termites (or alates) can be noticed leaving the colony

How Destructive Are Termites?

If left untreated, even a single nest of termites are capable of doing an unexpected amount of damage.
