What is a termite barrier and do I need
one for my home?
Termite barriers serve one simple purpose - to protect your home from termites.
However, a termite barrier does not necessarily
prevent termite infestations.
In many cases, termite barriers are used
to drive termites out of hiding so termite inspectors can detect their existance.
There are many types of termite barriers
such as crushed granite, chemical barriers, termite mesh, and caps. You should contact your pest control
professional for assistance with termite barriers.
The Kordon Termite moisture barrier is one
of the better termite barrier systems. A couple reasons for this is the Kordon system does not use environment
damaging chemicals. The downside to this type of barrier is the cost. It is generally more expensive than
a simple chemical barrier, but you get better protection for your home.
You will need to make your decision based
on your budget and home requirements.
