Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great defense against termites since they are easily identified and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, when there is a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may discover these gaps and gain ingress.

The most commonly used repellent is Bifenthrinthat features a lasting effect of as many as 5 years after application.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Termites cannot identify these repellents. Consequently, they do not avoid the treated places, and as a result die after they have exposure to them. In addition, individual termites can transfer the chemical to other colony members, causing a flow on result.

Since the termites don’t detect these non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are much less likely to gain ingress via breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life as high as eight years.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from houses by placing bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix instead of the timber they were consuming. Worker termites then feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be eliminated, 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.

In-Ground Baiting Systems are often installed throughout the property as an early warning system. These systems are especially useful when the design of the home may prevent other effective perimeter barriers, as they can intercept and eliminate termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection system
• Not influenced by weather
• Safe for kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Signs That You Have Termites

General signs that your residence is infested with termites:

• Wood in the structure has tiny holes
• Wood is damaged and decaying
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

What Damage Can Termites Do?

For such tiny individuals, a colony of termites (white ants) is capable of doing a great deal of damage to a structure. If the problem becomes bad enough, the home could become unusable.
