Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a break in the chemical application, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants can recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The widely used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a lasting effect of up to 5 years following application.

Non Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals are not sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t avoid exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the white ants are killed, and will pass the chemical on to other colony members, therefore causing a compounding effect.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated places to non-treated places, the potential of termite ingress through untreated gaps is lower.

The most common used non repellent is Fipronil which has a residual lifespan of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are employed to remove termites from the dwelling by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the white ants to consume a poison bait instead of the timber. These termites will then pass on the bait to other individuals in the nest which creates a flow on effect.

In this fashion, the whole nest can be eliminated even though the position of the nest isn’t known. The stations should be assessed and monitored frequently in case the situation should require stations to be rebaited, the placement of more bait stations, or if they should be moved to alternate place.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are more commonly situated around the property to offer an early detection and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Baiting System Advantages

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Unaffected by weather
• Safe to use around kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Indications Of A Termite Infestation

There are several indications your house has a white ant infestation:

• Holes bored in timber panels or drywall
• Wood that is damaged or crumbling
• ‘Mud Tubes’ on the wood, floorboards, ceilings, brickwork and in subfloor areas
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees near the structure
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

It surprises many people to discover that white ants could cause a great deal of damage to structures. In fact, even a single nest of termites can render a home unusable if the problem is severe enough.
