What is a Termite Barrier ?
It’s a barrier that surrounds the foundation of either a physical or chemical block that termites have to work too hard to cross. A barrier prevents termites from ever entering the property and is one of the best long-term solutions for protecting your home from termites.The most effective termite barrier functions by either acting to physically prevent termites from entering the building or poisoning them with the chemicals that are applied to the soil. They are applicable on new construction or can be installed on existing homes, which makes them a flexible option for all homeowners.
Types Of Termite Barriers
Termite barriers are essential for long-term termite protection and come in two main types: physical barriers and chemical barriers. Physical barriers are installed during construction using stainless steel mesh or crushed granite, creating an impenetrable layer that prevents termites from entering a building. Chemical barriers, on the other hand, use specially formulated termiticides applied to soil around the property, forming a treated zone that either kills or repels termites. Some systems also include reticulation systems, which allow for recharging chemicals over time. Together, these termite barrier types provide strong defense and support effective termite control in Sydney.
Physical Barriers
Physical barriers generally constructed in the course of construction. They comprise stainless-steel mesh, graded stones, or other materials that are durable, placed around pipes and foundations. They block termites from entering points, thereby preventing the need for chemicals. The primary types include:
1.Stainless Steel Mesh Barriers:
Fine and durable mesh is erected on foundations and service pipes or wall joints. The gaps are too small that termites cannot pass through, thus creating the appearance of a permanent barrier.
2.Granite Chip Barriers:
Specially graded crushed or granite is poured on or around foundations of buildings. Because the rocks are too sharp and large termites are unable to move or pass through them.
3.Integrated Physical Barrier Systems:
These termite barriers are integrated at the time of construction and combine materials like polymer membranes that are infused with termiticides. They offer physical as well as chemical protection.
4.Pipe Collars and Sealants:
Termites typically get into plumbing and service penetrations. Pipe sealants and collars prevent these entry points from happening which means termites are unable to find ways to gain access.
Chemical Barriers
Chemical barriers can be made through the application of liquid termiticides to the soil surrounding the foundation. The treated area repels termites and eliminates them before they get to the structure. It’s a preferred option for homes that are already in use and offers many years of security by ensuring professional maintenance. Types of chemical barriers includes
1.Repellent Chemical Barriers :
These are a barrier that creates an area that termites cannot get through. If they are applied correctly the termites are repelled and forced to search for food sources in other areas, keeping your home safe.
2.Non-repellent Chemical Barriers:
Contrary to repellent alternatives, these are inaccessible to termites. Termites travel through the treated soil and are unaware of taking in the chemical and then transferring it back to their colony, which leads to colony destruction.
3.Liquid termiticides:
They are sprayed into the soil around the foundation as well as slabs and entry points. Modern liquid treatments offer lasting termite protection up to 8 years if installed by a professional in termite management.
4.Chemically-Infused Membranes:
installed in construction, these membranes offer physical protection as well as slow-release termiticides. They offer two-way defense against termites.
Reticulation Systems
Reticulation systems make use of underground pipes to distribute termiticide in a uniform manner throughout the structure. This makes re-treatment easy, efficient, cost-effective and less disruptive as chemicals are replenished without digging. Types of Reticulation Systems includes:
1.Perimeter Reticulation System:
installed all around the perimeter of the building they provide constant protection through the creation of an area that termites can’t traverse. They’re perfect for new homes as well as existing structures.
2.System for Reticulation of Under-Slabs:
Set beneath concrete slabs prior to construction, this method ensures that the soil beneath the structure is treated to protect it against the entry of termites through hidden points.
3.Combination Reticulation Systems:
A combination of perimeter and under-slab systems, they offer the highest termite security by focusing on risks from both sides.
4.Rechargeable Systems for Reticulation:
designed to last for a long time, these permit termite experts to inject termiticide into the system each few years, which ensures constant protection and without needing to re-excavate.
How Does a Termite Barrier Work And what are its benefits
The termite barrier is a fence surrounding your home that termites can’t traverse. Based on the type that it is, it could be chemical or physical. Physical barriers like stones or mesh physically prevent termites from entering foundation gaps or the soil. Chemical barriers on the other hand are made up of the use of reticulation or treated soil that kill or repel termites prior to their ability to arrive at your home.
