Warnings on Yearly Boosters Treatments or Top Ups When a
chemical is applied to your home the chemical has a certain lifespan.
Therefore the chemical needs to only re-applied when it has broken down or if
it has broken down by other factors (i.e. renovations or poor drainage). For
a chemical to be reapplied it must always be applied at the same rate (this
is as per the label) as the original treatment. You cannot just Top Up the chemical as this is not on
the label and the label is what pest control technicians must follow
strictly. Chemical must be applied at the full application rate to be
effective, if not the penetration and meeting of the chemicals in the soil
will not occur giving the client (yourselves) a false sense of security and
termites a passage to your house. Most chemicals
have a lifespan of 3-10 years and it is only necessary to carry out an
inspection yearly to assess that no breakdown has occurred over the past year
and to treat any live termites. Although this is not a health issue it is
very misleading as mentioned before it can give you the client a false sense
of security. If you would like more information on
chemicals, concentration rates or Barrier Treatments in general please email
