What are Termite Barriers?
Termite barriers create a chemical perimeter around your home. This prevents termites from entering and attacking the structure.
Why are Termite Barriers So Important?
Without a termite barrier, your home is vulnerable. Termites can sneak in unseen and munch away at walls and woodwork. This can lead to expensive repairs if infestations take hold.
Protecting your largest investment makes sense. Termite barriers give you peace of mind that termites will not damage your property.
We are experts at installing effective termite barriers in Brisbane. We use the latest techniques and products to create a chemical and physical perimeter. This fully protects your property from sneak termite attacks.
Termites are a major pest problem in Australia. There are over 350 termite species, with the most common being:
- Subterranean termites – Found underground and cause damage from below.
- Drywood termites – Live inside wood causing wall and ceiling damage.
- Dampwood termites – Nest in moist woods.
Without effective barriers, these termites can invade your home and feed on walls and wood structures. This leads to expensive repairs and pest control treatments.
Installing a proper termite barrier prevents access and protects your investment.
Types of Termite Barriers
There are two main types of barriers used to secure your home:
1. Physical Barriers
Physical barriers like granite rock and stainless steel mesh are installed around vulnerable access points. These create a mechanical deterrent to stop termites.
Advantages:
- Completely impenetrable to termites
- Long lasting protection
- Non-toxic for homes with pets or children
2. Chemical Termite Barriers
Specialised pesticides (termiticides) are applied to the soil to create a treated zone.
There are two main types of termiticides used:
- Repellent termiticides – Form a treated zone that termites avoid. Provides effective prevention.
- Non-repellent termiticides – Cannot be detected by termites. Termites pass through barrier and are eliminated.
EPM Pest Control are experts at installing both physical and chemical solutions in Brisbane. Get in touch today to protect your home.
Barrier Safety
While chemical termiticides provide effective protection, some homeowners prefer to avoid chemicals. This is especially true in homes with children or pets.
The termiticides used by EPM Pest Control are rigorously tested and registered for use by Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority. When applied correctly by certified technicians, they are safe for humans and animals.
We take care to avoid any environmental impacts. Treatment is targeted around the building perimeter only.
Advantages of Chemical Barriers
- Provides complete treated zone around foundations
- Can be used on any soil type
- Cost effective protection
- Prevents termite entry points being established
Physical vs Chemical
Physical protection provides impenetrable protection with no termitcides. While chemical treated areas treat surrounding soil to prevent termites accessing your home.
The best solution often combines both approaches for maximum protection. They secure key risk areas, while termiticides treat the remaining perimeter.
