Given the extensive damage termites can cause to a home’s structure, termite control involves taking preventative measures, conducting routine inspections, and implementing successful treatments to avoid or control termite infestations.
One way of managing a termite infestation is with termite barriers. These can either be a physical or a chemical barrier, both targeted to safeguarding your property. Read further to ensure your termite protection strategy is robust.
What is a Termite Barrier
There are various methods available for preventing termite infestations in home structures.
Termite barriers are physical or chemical barriers that deter or block termite entry into buildings. Physical barriers are typically made of metal mesh or sand particles, while chemical barriers use termiticides to repel or kill termites.
SURE Pest Control uses liquid termiticides in the form of Fipronil. This creates a chemical barrier that is undetected by termites and carries a 5-year warranty subject to annual inspection. This effectively prevents termite infestations in treated areas.
The Benefits of a Termite Barrier

Termite barriers provide a cost-effective solution compared to the potential expenses associated with termite damage repairs.
It Offers Long-Lasting Prevention
Termite barriers reduce the need for frequent reapplications or replacements.
Easy Monitoring
Termite barriers can be easily monitored for any breaches, allowing for timely maintenance and repairs to uphold their effectiveness.
The Importance of Termite Barrier Maintenance
