If you live in a termite inhabited region you need to stay at least one step ahead of them. If unchecked, termites will gain entry into your home through cracks in the slab or walls, through service access openings. They will use any avenue open to them from plumbing to electrical circuits. If you own a timber house termites can become a massive problem and it is therefore vital to get regular inspections and proactive treatments.

This allows early detection of termites and a tailored treatment program can be implemented before damage is done. It is also recommendable that homeowners learn enough to be able to visually check their house once a month for signs of termites.

A chemical barrier which is usually sprayed into the soil is a the common way to deter termites. This chemical pest barrier is very effective against termites but the treatment needs to be repeated every five to ten years.
