Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find these chemicals easy to identify and an excellent deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated locations. However, when areas are compromised later on, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants can recognise these gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual lifetime of as many as 5 years and is the most commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not identifiable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the treated areas, they will pass over the chemical and die as a result of coming into contact with it. They often also transfer the chemical to other colony members they come into contact with, thus generating a compounding effect.

Since the termites can not identify non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated places, and are less likely to gain ingress via possible breaks.

The most frequently used non repellent chemical is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of as many as eight years following treatment.

Understanding Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be eliminated from your structure by placing bait stations directly on termite activity, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix rather than the timber they were attacking. This soon kills the termites that ingest the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow colony members.

An entire termite nest or colony may be eliminated in this way, even in cases where the location of the colony is not known. It is important to monitor and assess these stations regularly so that they can be added to, re-baited or moved so that they continue to be in locations where there is termite activity.

In-Ground Systems are employed in a similar fashion, but they’re frequently installed around the property to create an early warning system for signs of a termite problem. These systems are useful when the design of the property may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they can breach the boundary.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Adaptable protection against termites
• Poor weather does not impact effectiveness
• Safe for all your family & pets
• Environmentally friendly

Common Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

Several signs that you might have a termite problem include:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and wood
• Damaged or disintegrating timber
• The presence of "mud tubes" on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the structure
• Nests or mounds in trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the nest

How Destructive Can Termites Be?
