The recent heavy rainfall and extreme weather has made for a termite paradise. Termites increase their population based on a number of factors including access to moisture and food. After heavy rainfall, moisture lingers in the soil for some time after the rain has ceased and in a flood or major wetting event, logs and scrap timber are moved by flood waters and often left buried in land fill or stacked in a pile adding to the available food source, which can sustain large subterranean termite colonies.
We’re often asked by clients considering installing chemical barriers to protect their homes how long a chemical barrier lasts and whether rain affects the barrier. A chemical barrier protects your home for five years and is resistant to environmental factors like rain. The key to the suitability of any termiticide in a moist environment (like Brisbane) is the propensity to leach through soil upon a wetting event. Termidor has very low water solubility and does not leach through the soil. Termidor binds to organic matter in the soil which also limits movement.
So a Termidor chemical barrier will protect your home from termites for five years. Just think, that’s five years of peace of mind, knowing your home and greatest asset is protected from termites.
Subterranean termites cost Australian home owners over $12 billion per year in repairs and treatments. Don’t wait for the bad news, take action now and install a preventative chemical barrier around your home.
