5 Reasons to have a Termite Treatment or Barrier in place
- The CSIRO found that termites cause more damage than fire and that more than 1 in 5 houses have termite damage with an approximate damage bill of more than $100 million annually.
- Termites are subterranean which means “underground”. A termite treatment (barrier) will cover all of the soil surrounding the perimeter of your home. This way termites cannot get access inside without travelling through treated soil.
- Every year about 180,000 Australian homes are attacked by termites.A termite colony can devour upwards of 5g of wood per day. This may not sound like much but without a treatment they can remain active in your property and undetected, for years.
- Non-repellent chemical treatments (barriers) such as Termidor or Trelona monitoring & baiting programs (all tailored to your property directly) can provide you with between 5 to 8 years of peace of mind.
- Not having a termite treatment (barrier) in place can put off potential buyers and even worse, having live termites at the time of their pre-purchase inspection is likely to cause them to cancel the contract. Termite protection has become one of the major concerns for purchasers in Queensland.
