What is a physical termite barrier?
Need Help?
A Physical Termite Barrier is installed as a termite and moisture barrier under or around the perimeter of the slab and around pipe penetrations.
The barrier prevents subterranean termites from entering your property.
A physical termite barrier offers long-lasting protection for your property, without the need to continually top it up with additional chemicals.
Pest Control Today has 2 options for physical termite barriers, HomeGuard and term-Seal.
