Effective Treatment for Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide good protection from termites as they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, when there’s a gap in the chemical, either from being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, white ants may recognise these gaps and gain access.

Bifenthrin is the regularly used chemical repellent, with a residual lifespan of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

These are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Given they then don’t avoid them, they move through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual white ants will often pass the chemicals to other members of the colony, creating a compounding and efficient result.

Because termites can’t tell the difference between treated locations to non-treated places, the chance for termite access via non-treated gaps is lower.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, which has a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems may be used to eliminate termites from structures by positioning bait stations at the site of activity, so they begin to feed on the bait matrix rather than the timber they were consuming. Worker white ants then return to the colony and feed the bait to other colony members and so a compounding effect is achieved.

The entire nest can be eliminated in this manner, regardless of whether the position of the nest is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

While In-Ground Systems are used in a similar way, they are typically placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. Systems such as these are especially useful when the home design is such that a robust perimeter barrier is impossible to install.

Benefits Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Not afflicted with weather
• Safe for the kids and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Signs You're Dealing With Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your structure is infested with termites:

• Tiny holes found in drywall and/or wood
• Wood that is damaged or disintegrating
• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, timber, ceiling or sub floor
• Mounds or colonys can be seen in nearby trees
• Alates (winged termites) swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Actually Do?

If left untreated, even a single colony of white ants is capable of doing a surprising amount of destruction. The dwelling can even become unusable as a result of the severity of the issue, and in extreme cases, may be unrepairable.
