Kordon Termite Barriers

Looking to protect your home from termites before they have a chance to cause any damage? Central Coast Pest Exterminators offers Kordon Termite Barriers, a pre-construction termite control solution that is proven to be effective.

Anyone who has dealt with termites knows that they can quickly cause extensive damage to your home. Termites are attracted to wood, and they will happily munch their way through the framing of your house if given the chance. This can not only weaken the structure of your home, but it can also create opportunities for water damage and mould growth.

One way to help protect your home from termites is to install a Kordon termite barrier. A Kordon barrier is installed under your home before the foundation is poured, creating a physical barrier that termites cannot cross. In addition, the barrier also provides a chemical barrier that deters termites from even approaching your home.

What are Kordon Barriers?

Kordon termite barriers are specially formulated barricades that are designed to repel termites.

When applied to the soil under the foundation of a home, the Kordon termite barrier acts as a physical barrier that termites cannot cross. In addition, the chemical inside Kordon termite barriers repels termites, making it less likely for them to build their nests in close proximity to the treated area. As a result, Kordon termite barriers provide an effective means of keeping termites away from your home.

How does Kordon work?

Termites attack a variety of materials, including wood, and soften non-cellulose substances such as soft concrete, soft metal, and plastic; they also cause damage to sealants and foam insulations. Termites have easy access through cracks in concrete and the space around pipes that pass through the concrete slab.

Kordon is a flexible laminate that is installed during construction to prevent hidden access by subterranean termites. The top layer of the barrier is made of durable, fibrous webbing that protects the foundations of your property from moisture. The bottom layer is a dense plastic that physically guards against termite attack.

Kordon termite barriers also contain a special termiticide called ‘deltamethrin’ which is lethal to termites. This termiticide is lethal to termites and acts as a strong repellant.

How long does it last?

Kordon has been extensively tested by the CSIRO and has been evaluated to have a durability and design life in excess of 50 years. This represents the life expectancy of a building as deemed by the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB).
