It is always a good idea to have a professional perform an examination of your property on a periodic basis in order to properly protect your home from pests like termites.

1. The Logic of
Termite Barriers

2. Many homeowners are seeing the logic of placing termite
barriers in place for new home construction or in existing
homes. The most common type of termite infestation is done
by subterranean termites which form the main colony
underground.

3. Usually around or beneath a structure, and
then come out periodically to feed on the
wooden structure of the home. Physical
barriers can be put into place to thwart
these little critters in their endeavor to eat
out homes.

4. There are two categories, the first of
which is a chemical barrier which
consists of chemically treated soil. The
second type of barrier is a physical
barrier that is made of a layer of
protection that is placed between the
actual soil and the house itself.

5. The construction consists of a stainless steel mesh material
which makes it very difficult for the termites to cross that
barrier and get into your home. Typically, a physical barrier
will be made of a concrete slab that is underneath the house
along with a physical termite barrier.

6. While physical termite barriers will,
for the most part, prevent most of the
termites from entering your home on a
mass scale, some may circumvent the
barrier and get in. So a physical barrier
is not always 100 per cent effective,
and other methods might have to be
used as well, in order to keep all of
them out.

7. It may be required to utilize some
sort of termite treatment in
addition to a physical barrier,
particularly if you live in a
woodsy area, or an area that is
known to harbor subterranean
termite populations. If you call
your local pest control company,
they can give you some ideas for
doing that.
