Termite management, known as termite protection is a fairly simple concept. ‘To protect my property from termites’, however what methods are available to protect my home?
Physical Termite Barriers-Physical Termite Barriers are a physical product installed into a building at construction stage, and is designed to prevent termites from entering a property undetected. Products such as Termimesh, Kordon and Homeguard are installed into the building to force termites to expose themselves before they are able to access any palatable food source within the structure, giving the homeowner the opportunity to eradicate the colony before it can cause damage. Physical Termite Barriers will not stop termites from entering the building.
Chemical Soil Treatments, or chemical termite barriers-Chemical barriers are usually installed post construction, and are installed by soaking the soil which abuts the building about the perimeter of the structure with a registered termiticide. This treated zone will either repel termites, or permit them to forage through the treated areas, picking up the toxins in the soil, and transferring it back to the colony, eradicating the specific threat. This method actually kills the attacking termites, and is a very good method of termite protection.
Termite Baiting Systems-Termite Baiting is a post construction method of termite management and are installed in professional and DIY Termite protection instances. Termite baits are the only form of legal termite management which is able to be undertaken by an unlicensed individual, which makes it the only form of viable DIY Termite protection.
