If you’ve dealt with termites before, you know the feeling of relief after they’re gone. Having something like a termite barrier installed in your home is a game changer. It gives you that sense of protection in your mind that your home is safe. When the exterminator leaves your home, it can be like a weight lifts off your shoulders. But, did you know that termite barrier reinfestation is a thing?

Sadly, we’re not joking.

When a termite barrier is installed, it comes with a life expectancy. With most installers, you’ll get a warranty period. But if you go past that life expectancy - your home can be as much at risk as being completely without one. The termites will come back. When that happens, termite barrier reinfestation can wreak havoc on your home.

Recently, we had a customer in Lawnton (North Brisbane) who learnt this the hard way. In 2009, after having termite issues, they had a termite barrier installed in their home. The type they had came with a warranty of 5 years. Unfortunately, they never thought to get it checked. This led to a termite barrier reinfestation and to them giving us a call.

Installing termite barriers is something our tradesmen are very comfortable with. When it comes to our work here at Conquer Termites Northside, we’re not just out the door when its done though.
