How Do You Stop Termites from Invading Your Home?

Even businesses and homeowners are stressed out and concerned with the damage termites can do. These little bastards cause big problems, and unfortunately you probably won't know that you have them until the worst is yet to come. Termites are a big deal in Perth and are responsible for about $1.5 billion worth of property damage every single year. Termites cannot be observed because they eat away wood quietly. A termite colony can contain 10 million workers, while the queen can live for 25 years! Termites eat wood, which means they can compromise a home's structural integrity. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to keep termites at bay to save your Perth property.

Routine Inspections and Maintenance

Routine termite inspections are crucial to finding infestations early. A pest control professional can identify signs of termite activity and entry points. Termite inspections should be done annually. A yearly termite treatment to your home maintenance routine can eliminate new colonies before they gain enough ground to do damage.

Getting Rid of the Moisture

Termites love moisture. Repair pipe, gutter and downspout leaks promptly. By decreasing dampness from in and around your home, you can help make your home less attractive to termites.

Implementing Pest Control Measures

Good pest control can help keep termites and other pests out of your house. Here are some tested methods to control termites:

• Bait Stations: These are strategically positioned around your property and linked together with bait that termites find irresistable. When the termites take the bait, they feed it to their colony, effectively killing the entire colony over time.

• Soil Treatment: Treating the soil around your house with termiticides forms a barrier that kills termites on contact. This approach is effective against subterranean termites, which travel from the soil into wood.

• Foam Applications: Foam termiticides are used to inject into wall voids or other difficult areas for treatment. This one targets certain areas where termite activity is evident.

The Importance of Annual Termite Treatment

Even if you do not have termites take a termite treatment at least every year. Termites are difficult to prevent and can make their way even into the most secure of houses as years pass. It keeps killing any termites that slip through the cracks, so you won't face an overwhelming infestation.
