Chemical Treatment for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals can be easily detected by termites / white ants, making them very useful for providing protection on treated locations. However, in the event the treated areas aren’t fully covered, or if they later get compromised, white ants can identify the breaks and again access the home.

Bifenthrin is a commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of up to 5 years.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

Termites don’t identify these repellents. Because of this, they don’t avoid the treated areas, and as a result are killed after they have contact with them. Additionally, individual termites will pass these chemicals to other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Since the termites can’t identify non-repellent chemicals, they can’t tell treated from untreated locations, and are less likely to gain ingress via gaps.

The frequently used non repellent treatment is Fipronil, which has a lasting effect of up to 8 years after application.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are commonly used to eliminate termites in your dwelling, by locating bait stations directly on termite activity to encourage the pests to feed on the bait as opposed to the wood. In addition, when these termites return to the colony, they feed the bait to other members of the colony, therefore creating a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be erradicated, even though 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 Systems are utilised in a similar manner, however they are often installed around properties where there is currently no obvious activity, to assist in early discivery of termites. These systems are particularly useful when the design of a home makes it challenging to install effective perimeter barriers, because it is then possible to intercept termites before they breach the perimeter.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Impervious to weather conditions
• Safe for use around children and pets
• Eco-friendly

How You Can Tell If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

• Wood which is damaged and breaking down
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or under the floor
• Termite colonys & mounds in trees close to the home
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying from the nest
