Understanding Termite Prevention Treatments

Termites are a serious threat to homes across Queensland, and protecting your property starts with the right prevention system. But did you know that there are different types of termite prevention treatments? Each home is unique, so a one-size-fits-all approach just won’t cut it! That’s why a tailored termite management plan is crucial. Let’s take a broad look at the options available:

 

  • Physical Barriers: Installed during construction, these barriers create a physical shield to help alert you to termites entering your home.
  • Drilling & Injecting: A chemical treatment that involves drilling small holes in concrete areas to inject termiticide into the soil, creating a protective barrier.
  • Reticulation Systems: Underground piping systems designed to distribute termiticide evenly around your property, perfect for ongoing maintenance.
  • Trenching: A trench is dug around the property’s perimeter and filled with treated soil to block termites.
  • Termite Bait Stations: Strategically placed stations lure termites with bait that eliminates the colony over time.

Each of these methods has its strengths, and the best solution depends on your home’s construction, layout, and termite risk factors. At Shorty’s Pest Management, we specialise in crafting bespoke termite prevention plans that fit your home perfectly.
