How often should I get my property treated?

Various termiticides last different lengths of time. It is normal to get five or more years of protection, although you may get around eight. In addition, if the barrier is upset, the lifespan of the compound might be impacted. By way of example, flooding and landscaping could cause a breach in the barrier. It’s always best to find a termite inspection once per year to ensure nothing has ever gotten through.

How do I restrict termite issues?

Schedule an yearly professional property inspection by a qualified and licensed pest controller. Replace any untreated retaining walls or timber garden perimeters with wood that is treated for termites or other termite-resistant materials. Treat any sources of excess moisture such as faulty plumbing, leak resources, or dampness due to poor drainage. Garden beds should be raked from structures to maintain weep holes and concrete slab edges exposed. Keep any loose wood and trash away from the property, and prevent direct wood-to-soil contact around your property. Remove stumps and dead trees as they’re harbouring areas for subterranean termites.
