There is good reason to invest in a termite barrier for you home, even if your home is not currently playing host to these highly destructive pests.

Based upon industry and CSIRO studies, one in three homes will be attacked and/or damaged by termites during the economic life of the home. The damage can be severe as termites are capable of destroying wall, floor and roof timbers within a few months. The risk usually increases with the age and location of the property. However, there have been cases of new homes being severely damaged shortly after construction. Furthermore, as the bill from termite damage runs into the hundreds of millions of dollars each year insurance companies will not insure against termite damage. It is therefore vitally important that you protect what in most cases is your most valuable asset ie your home against termite attack and to safe guard the health and wellbeing of your family against disease carrying rats and cockroaches, venomous spiders and other general pests.
