Common Barriers Assist In Regular Termite
Inspections In Australian Homes

It is said that no termite protection system
claims 100 per cent guarantee to stop termites
getting in Australian homes. Hence, timely and
regular inspection is the best way to know the
presence of a variety of termites in households.
Regular inspections are must for all homes
because avoiding them can be very expensive and
burdensome to pockets. It is well-known that
household insurance usually misses coverage to
termite damage. It is more likely that building
insurance and warranties may be annulled. It
means that one has to pay a huge amount of money
to repair the damage. So, termite inspection
becomes a reality.

Although termites are likely to attack houses
from underground, yet they can enter from other
channels too. Moreover, there is no practical
system that can ensure 100 guarantee to stop
termites from getting in Australian homes. In
such odd conditions, the best way to curb the
entry of termites into homes is to build termite
barriers into house. These barriers are specially
designed in order to prevent undetectable termite
entry. With these barriers, it is easy to see
entry of termites into homes. That is why these
barriers are a part and parcel of regular
inspections to checkout for termite entry at
pre-determined locations. If termites are
detected at any entry point, they can be easily
treated.

• Concrete slab (slab) It is a type of solid
  concrete unit that is made in order to stop
  termite penetration.
• Crushed stone (stone) It is a hard layer of
  stone particles that will not allow termites to
  penetrate the spaces between the particles.
• Sheet capping (cap) This sort of metal or sheet
  material is widely used as a barrier to put an
  effective end to the entry of termites.
• Stainless steel mesh (mesh) It is another
  popular termite proof mesh that can be
  effectively used as a barrier that is isolated or
  continuous.
• Chemicals (chemical) Incessant application of
  chemicals around or under buildings is another
  good way to repel or kill termites.
• The selection of a barrier system type mainly
  depends upon the type of barrier used to refer
  the "Notice of Treatment". The barrier system is
  mainly fixed in the electrical meter box or near
  the subfloor access door. DIY termite control can
  also be used to control termite infestation in
  homes.
