Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repelling Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites because they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to being unable to access all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may identify the gaps and gain access.

The widely used repellent chemical is Bifenthrin, which features a residual lifetime of up to five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

The chemicals aren’t detected by termites, and so the termites don’t stay away from contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites will soon die, and can also pass the chemical on to fellow members of the colony, therefore causing a compounding result.

As termites are not able to detect these non repellents, they identify no distinction between areas that are treated and others which are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

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

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore tempting the pests to eat a poison bait instead of the wood. These termites will then pass on the bait to other members of the nest which produces a compounding effect.

The entire colony may be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of whether the location of the nest is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so that if required, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

While In Ground Systems are used in a similar fashion, they are more commonly placed throughout the property to provide an early warning and interception system. These systems are especially useful when the building design is such that an effective perimeter barrier is hard to create.

Baiting System Benefits

• Highly flexible & efficient termite protection
• Poor weather does not impact control
• Safe for use around children and pets
• An environmentally smart solution

Common Signs You Have A Termite Infestation

Typical signs that your building has a termite infestation:

• Small holes bored in timber panels or drywall
• Damaged or collapsing timber
• Presence of ‘mud tubes’ on the floor, brickwork, ceilings or below the floor
• Termite nests & mounds in trees near the dwelling
• Winged termites (alates) can be seen swarming from the colony

How Much Damage Can A Colony Of Termites Do?

It surprises many homeowners to learn that white ants can cause a great deal of harm to buildings. In fact, even just one colony of termites can render a dwelling unsafe if the problem is severe enough. Set your mind at ease; call Sefton Termite Pest Control and have one of our termite inspection experts examine your Sefton home as soon as possible.
