Chemical Treatment Options

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good defense against termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there is a break in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise the gaps and gain entry.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, having a residual lifespan of up to five years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

Non repellents are chemicals that termites cannot detect. Given they then do not avoid them, they will go through the residue and then die. In addition, individual white ants may also transfer these chemicals to other members in the colony, creating a flow on and efficient effect.

Since the termites do not identify these non repellent chemicals, they can’t tell untreated from treated places, and are less likely to gain access through gaps.

The most widely used non repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

Used to erradicate termites within a building, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix rather than the wood that they have been eating previously. As well as killing the termites that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

In this way, the whole termite nest will be erradicated, even though you don’t know the actual location of the nest. 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.

An In Ground System is used in a similar fashion, however they’re frequently situated around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite problem. These systems are useful when the construction of the building may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Benefits OF Termite Baiting

• Adaptable protection against white ants
• Not affected by weather
• Safe for all your family & pets
• Ecologically Friendly

Common Signs That You May Have Termites

There are many indications your dwelling suffers from a termite infestation:

• Wood in the building has small holes
• Wood which is damaged and breaking down
• The presence of mud tubes on the brickwork, ceilings, floor boards and/or subfloor areas of the house
• Mounds or nests can be seen in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

When left untreated, even just one nest of termites can do a surprising amount of damage. The building may even become unsafe as a result of the severity of the issue, and in the extreme, can be unrepairable.
