Is Installing A Termite Barrier Worth the Cost?

Termites love to eat wood. If termites get into your home, they can cause a lot of damage. The repair bills often costs thousands of dollars to fix.

Investing in a termite barrier is a smart idea because it stops termites before they ever reach your home. When termites try to tunnel through the soil to reach the wood, they hit the chemical barrier and die. This prevents them from munching on your home.

Installing termite protection is a smart decision and a good investment.

The Importance of Termite Management

A termite barrier serves as the shield protecting your home from invasions. Early-stage prevention can save you money in the long run. Repairs from termite damage are costly. Why pay an expensive bills for damages when you can prevent it from happening?

Types of Termite Barriers

  • Physical Termite Barrier
  • Chemical Termite Barrier
  • Termite Reticulation

Physical Termite Barriers

Physical barriers are constructed from materials that termites cannot penetrate, such as metal or durable plastic, which is installed during the construction of the home. They act as a deterrent by obstructing access to vulnerable areas of your home. A properly installed barrier can provide long lasting protection against any potential invasion and also make it easier to detect early signs of an infestation before it becomes unmanageable.

Advantages of A Physical Termite Barrier

  • No harmful chemicals are used in installation and maintenance.
  • They have a long lifespan, possibly equivalent to that of your home.
  • Physical barriers provide a sustainable, eco-friendly solution.
  • Very low maintenance requirements.
  • We also use ant caps to entice white ants into detectable locations.

Chemical Termite Barriers

This method involve the usage of termiticides. They are chemicals specifically designed to control and eliminate termites. These chemical treatments can be applied both underground (in the soil) and on timber surfaces.

There are two types of chemicals used:

  • Repellent termiticides
  • Non-repellent termiticides

Repellent Termiticides

As the name suggests, repellent termiticides work by creating a barrier that effectively repels or diverts termites away from your home. Key points about these chemicals include:

  • Possibility of leaving an untreated area where termites may breach into your home.
  • Frequent monitoring is required to ensure proper protection.
  • The usage of these chemicals may harm non-target organisms in the ecosystem.

Non-Repellent Termiticides

An alternative to repellents is non-repellents like Termidor. It works in a sneaky way! Instead of repelling termites, it allows them to come into contact with or consume treated materials. Uunsuspecting pests then bring the toxic substance back to their colony. This is where it gets deadly for them.

Here’s what you need to know about these chemicals:

  • The product works through both ingestion and direct contact exposure.
  • Makes detection by other healthy colony members impossible, which ultimately leads to total elimination.
  • Fewer risks towards non-target species in your surroundings.

Termite Reticulation Systems

Termite reticulation systems are an effective method of termite control that involves installing a network of interconnected pipes under and around a structure. These pipes are then filled with a termite-killing solution (termiticide), creating a chemical barrier that prevents termites from infesting the building.

Whichever type of termite barrier you choose, the important thing is to ensure that your home is protected.
