Liquid Termite Barriers
Liquid termite treatments are able to be placed on a variety of surfaces. Some can be injected directly into the soil. Others can be sprayed on to hard surfaces, such as brick or cement.

Termites never even have a chance to access your home. These should be used with caution but are generally considered safe around kids and pets.
Soil Treatment Barrier
Soil treatments are when a liquid or crystal form of poison is worked into the soil – either by being placed directly in the soil or under paved areas. This often requires a professional to drill or cut pavement to allow for installment. Though this can be time-consuming, this is considered the most long-lasting and reliable treatment available.
