Termite Inspections and Termidor Termite Barriers

Termite inspections along with termite barriers are an important part of home ownership, which is often neglected partly due to limited knowledge of their habits.
Termite inspections are recommended every 12 months or less, and are vital to the detection of termites and the damage they cause.
A Termidor Termite Barrier will help to lower the chances of undetected attack between inspections, and also add value to your home.
Termite inspections on the Gold Coast are an important part of home ownership, and accompanied with a Termite barrier are the best form of Protection available.
As the Gold Coasts population is so large, protection is paramount.
Pre Purchase Pest Inspections are another important part of purchasing a home.
A building and Pest inspection is the best way to find the history on a property.
To purchase a house with previous damage, or activity is something which homeowners should be aware of, and so Pre Purchase Pest Inspections are usually built into a contract, allowing the purchaser the time to organise for an inspection to locate termites or their damage and workings, prior to the contract going unconditional.
Recommendations such as Termite Baits, Termite barriers and Treatments are common when the risk of undetected or active termites exist.
Termite protection of a structure is most commonly performed with the installation of a Termidor termite Barrier, and is basically like a mote around a castle.
A trench is dug around the perimeter of a house or structure and flooded with the Termidor Mixture.
The trench is then backfilled and treated again to create a treated zone through which foraging workers will pick up a lethal dose of the termidor via the treated soil.
Once a foraging termite contacts the treated soil, the active ingredient takes between 24-36 hours to kill the subject, allowing it sufficient time to get back to the nest to pass on the infection to the rest of the colony.
This process takes place many times until the entire colony has been eradicated.
