Chemical termite barrier
A chemical barrier is one of the most widely used termite prevention methods today. It works by creating a protective zone in the soil around your property, treated with specialized chemicals that repel or kill termites. This barrier acts as a deterrent, preventing termites from entering your home through underground routes. The process of setting up this termite protection varies depending on the specific structure and layout of your property. Factors like the type of soil, existing landscaping, and the foundation design are considered to ensure the barrier is effective and long-lasting.
The most common technique for establishing a chemical barrier is trenching. This involves digging narrow trenches around the perimeter of your home, especially along external walls and near any potential entry points for termites. Once the trenches are prepared, termite treatment chemicals are applied directly into them, creating a continuous protective layer. After treatment, the trenches are refilled with the treated soil, which acts as an ongoing deterrent, maintaining the effectiveness of the barrier over time.
In addition to trenching, we may need to drill holes in concrete areas around your property, such as driveways, patios, and pathways. These drilled holes are then injected with the same termite-repellent chemicals, ensuring that there are no gaps in the protective barrier. After the application, the holes are sealed with plastic plugs or concrete, leaving your property neat and tidy. This approach allows us to provide comprehensive termite protection even in areas where trenching is not possible.
Physical termite barrier
A physical barrier is a termite treatment solution that’s often used for new constructions or properties being renovated. It often involves placing chemically treated sheets underneath or around the slabs of your property. These physical barriers are designed to prevent concealed termite entry forcing termites out, to be found during your regular Termite inspection by your fully trained and licence pest management professional.
Physical termite barriers can also be placed around pipe penetrations and other building openings that termites might be able to enter on your property.
Termite baiting
BASF’s new Advance® Termite Bait System (ATBS) with Trelona® Termite Bait sets a new benchmark in termite baiting for the Australian market. Powered by a novel active ingredient ‘Novaluron’, Trelona requires much less bait for complete colony elimination to be achieved when compared to other termite baits.
As an ‘Active on Application’ system, Trelona ATBS allows Abolish Termite and Pest Control to extend out our inspection frequencies whilst providing year-round protection from installation.
Different homes – different solutions
Termite treatments are absolute musts for any home – new or old. What’s not as clear, however, is the best way to do it. Like most other home maintenance activities, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to termite prevention. The right solution is ultimately one that’s tailored to your property, budget, and situation.
The following are some of the things you need to consider when deciding what termite treatment plan and termite barrier to use for your property:
Property type
Are you treating an old family home, or is it a new construction that’s still being finished? Does its structural design allow for chemical or physical barriers? These are just some of the questions that you need to consider when deciding on a solution. Every property is different, and each has its own requirements and potential solutions.
Level of infestation
Are there existing termite colonies on your property? Or do you simply want to keep termites well away? Existing termite colonies will require treatment before we implement a termite treatment plan or treatment barrier.
Type of chemical
There are different types of chemicals in the market – some are designed to kill termite colonies, while others simply discourage them from coming near in the first place. For the best results, you should select a chemical that’s designed to achieve the results you want.
Budget
In many cases, how much you’re willing to spend can influence what type of termite treatment or termite barrier you can get. Keep in mind that your budget should also consider more than just the service fee; it should also consider how big your property is and what type of termite treatments you prefer.
Termite inspection
Before applying any termite treatment to your home, it’s important that you know what you’re dealing with first. A thorough professional inspection will give you an accurate assessment of what kind of termites you’re up against. It will also help uncover any problem areas or underlying issues that may not be as obvious from the outside.
