Chemical Solutions for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are quickly detected by termites and avoided, they provide great protection for treated locations. If not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, white ants can recognise the gaps and gain access through them.

The often commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual effectiveness of up to 5 years.

Non Repelling Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from exposure to the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and will also transfer the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, thus resulting in a flow on effect.

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

The most frequently used non-repellent chemical is Fipronil with a residual life span of as much as 8 years.

Termite Baiting Systems

Above Ground Systems are used to eliminate termites from homes 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 return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this way, regardless of if the position of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the white ant activity.

While In-Ground Systems can be utilised in a similar way, they are typically installed throughout the property to offer an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the residence design means that a robust perimeter barrier is difficult to install.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Flexible protection system
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for the kids and pets
• Ecologically Smart

Signs That You May Have Termites

These are the common signs you have a termite infestation:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and timber
• Wood which is damaged and crumbling
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, timber, ceiling or sub-floor areas
• Nests or mounds below trees
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen flying to and from the colony

How Destructive Are Termites?

For such tiny individuals, a nest of white ants can cause significant amounts of damage to a structure. If the infestation becomes serious enough, the structure may potentially become unsafe.
