Why are Pre Construction Termite Barriers important?
- Termites and white ants are active in all mainland areas of Australia
- 34 000 homes each year are attacked by termites
- The average cost of the damage is approximately $10 000
- Termite damage is not covered by home or contents insurance
- Steel framed homes are not termite proof — other areas of the home are still vulnerable to a termite attack such as timber floors, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, timber trims even electrical wiring!
