The peace of mind the barrier gives for house protection is well worth the cost. In the area we live in it really is a very sensible course of action"
How to get rid of termites is a task best left to the professionals, there are many different types of termites throughout Australia, and some respond differently to certain types of termite treatments. Termite colonies reproduce at a rate of approximately 3,000 eggs per day, for these reasons cheap DIY termite treatments don’t work. Over the past 15 years of treating termites, we have seen many failed attempts at getting rid of termites and below we will name a few real experiences.
MoreFor whatever reason, may homeowners believe that simply using insect spray is an effective way of killing off termites. This really isn’t practical at all, as termites live deep beneath the ground in vast numbers. Spraying a handful of them on the surface is pointless. So avoid the temptation to use insect spray, you’ll just aggravate the problem and cause them to relocate elsewhere.
