Termites are a major pest problem on the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, and it's important to protect your home from these destructive insects. Termite treatments can be expensive, so it's natural to wonder how long they last.
The lifespan of a termite treatment depends on a number of factors, including the type of treatment used, the severity of the infestation, and the environment. In general, most termite treatments last for at least five years. However, some treatments, such as a chemical barrier, can last for up to ten years.
Termidor is a popular termite treatment that offers eight years of protection. It works by creating a chemical barrier around your home that repels and kills termites. Termidor is backed by a $2 million warranty, so you can be confident that it will protect your home from termites.
Biflex is another popular termite treatment that offers ten years of protection when installed at the maximum rate. It works by creating a physical barrier around your home that prevents termites from entering. Biflex is a good option for homes in areas with high termite activity.
Chemical barriers are a type of termite treatment that uses chemicals to create a barrier around your home that repels and kills termites. Chemical barriers are typically installed in the soil around your home. They can last for up to ten years, but they need to be inspected and reapplied regularly.
If you're concerned about termites, it's important to have your home inspected by a qualified termite technician. They can assess your risk and recommend the best treatment for your needs.
Here are some tips for protecting your home from termites:
Inspect your home regularly for signs of termite activity.
Eliminate any sources of moisture around your home.
Keep your gutters and downspouts clean and free of debris.
Repair any cracks or holes in your foundation.
Store firewood away from your home, remove logs and decaying tree stumps
