This might include chemical treatments that form a barrier between the termites and the building you wish to protect. Or perhaps, the elimination of the termite colony with baiting techniques.

Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repelling Chemicals

Termites can find chemicals straighforward to detect and a good deterrent, making them ideal for offering great protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are treated, termites will recognise the gaps and could sometimes get in.

Bifenthrin features a residual life of as many as five years and is a commonly used repellent chemical on the market today.

Non Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellents are chemicals that termites don’t detect. Since they then don’t avoid them, they will pass through the residue and then die. Additionally, individual termites can also transfer these chemicals on to other members in the colony, generating a compounding and efficient result.

Given termites cannot tell apart treated locations to non-treated areas, the potential for termite ingress through untreated gaps is much lower.

Fipronil is a widely used non repellent on the market, and features a residual lifetime of up to 8 years.

Termite Control Baiting Systems

Used to exterminate termites within a house, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood they were infesting until recently. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed that bait to further colony members.

The entire colony can be destroyed in this way, regardless of whether the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so that if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed termite activity.

In Ground Systems are employed in a similar manner, however they are frequently installed around the property to provide an early warning system for signs of a potential termite infestation. Systems such as these are especially useful when the construction of the house may prevent effective perimeter barriers being created, as they can block termites before they breach the boundary.

Advantages Of Termite Baiting Systems

• Very flexible protection systems
• Unimpacted by weather
• Safe to use around children and pets

How To Tell If Your Property Is Infested With Termites

• Evidence of ‘mud tubes’ on brickwork, wood, ceiling and sub-floor areas
• Mounds or colonys can be found in nearby trees
• Swarms of winged termites (alates) flying to the colony

Can Termites Really Damage My Residence?
