Chemical Treatment Options

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are ideal for protecting areas because termites easily identify and choose to avoid them. However, if treated locations are compromised later onor some places can not be treated because of access issues, the white ants will identify those gaps and attain ingress via them.

The most commonly used chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, that includes a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non Repellent Chemicals

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

Because termites can’t detect non-repellents, they are unable to tell the difference between treated and untreated areas, so access through possible gaps is considerably less likely.

The often applied non-repellent chemical is Fipronil, this has a residual life of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from the structure by positioning bait stations at the site of termite evidence, and encouraging the pests to consume the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that consume the bait, and in addition there is a compounding effect when worker termites return to the colony and feed the bait to fellow nest members.

The entire nest may be destroyed in this way, regardless of if the position of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In-Ground Systems are utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful where the dwelling design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is impossible to create.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not affected by weather conditions
• No danger for the kids & pets
• Environmentally Friendly

How To Tell If Your Home Is Infested With Termites

General signs that your residence is infested with termites:

• Timber in the structure has tiny holes
• Damaged or collapsing wood
• The presence of "mud tubes" on brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the dwelling
• Nests or mounds in tree areas
• Winged termites or alates may be seen swarming from the colony
