Termite infestations in Australia are a major concern for homeowners. To combat these pests, chemical barriers can be used to protect structures from damage. These barriers use chemicals such as bifenthrin or fipronil to repel termites from entering and establishing colonies within wood or other cellulose materials. The chemical barrier is applied around the perimeter of a structure and usually lasts for several years before re-application is necessary. In addition, there are baiting systems available that can attract termites away from valuable structures and into traps where they can be destroyed with insecticides. Both of these methods offer effective protection against termite infestations but should always be used in combination with regular inspections by qualified professionals to ensure their effectiveness and minimize risk of structural damage.
