In Western Australia, an overwhelming majority of homes are under the constant threat of termites, a fact that necessitates preventative measures to safeguard your home against these destructive pests.
A termite barrier around your property is one such option.
How Termite Barriers Work
Understanding termite behaviour can help prevent infestation. They’re particularly fond of damp, dark places and can quickly multiply if conditions are right. Avoid having wood in direct contact with soil and ensure your property has proper drainage.
But preventing termite infestation isn’t just about keeping your property clean and dry. It’s also about strategic planning.
A termite barrier is a continuous system designed to prevent termites from accessing your home. A chemical solution is typically injected into the soil, around the perimeter of your property. The effectiveness of a termite barrier depends largely on the chemicals used. At SURE Pest Control we only use chemicals that contain the active ingredient Fipronil as it goes undetected by termites. Fipronil is a growth regulator which infects, spreads between and kills termites.
While a chemical barrier is considered the most effective method of termite prevention on a property, it will always require inspection and maintenance to prevent termites from bypassing the treated zones. This means completing annual inspections is essential to ensure the barrier is not disrupted through gardening, renovations or weather conditions. It also allows for the early detection of any activity on the property in untreated areas.
We offer different types of termite barrier treatments, depending on your environment and building type. Find out more about our different termite barrier options.
The Benefits of Installing a Termite Barrier
- Once set up, a termite barrier provides long-lasting protection, significantly reducing the risk of a termite infestation. This added level of security gives you peace of mind knowing your property is safeguarded against these destructive pests.
- A termite barrier offers cost efficiency. While there’s an upfront cost involved in its installation, the long-term financial benefits are significant. Consider the cost of repairing termite damage, which can run into tens of thousands of dollars depending on the severity of the infestation. At SURE Pest Control we offer transparent and affordable pricing options.
- A termite barrier can enhance your property value. Prospective home buyers in Western Australia often appreciate homes that have taken preventive measures against termite damage.
