What is Termi-Mesh used for in termite control?

Termi-Mesh is fundamentally a steel wire mesh that is specifically designed for pest prevention, particularly against termites. It is installed around the foundation of buildings and serves as a physical barrier that prevents termites from gaining access to the structure. This barrier is effective because it can withstand the chewing and tunneling behavior of termites, making it a durable solution for long-term protection.

In contrast, other options such as trapping termites or using liquid treatments involve different approaches that may not provide the continuous protection that a physical barrier like Termi-Mesh does. Traps typically capture termites but do not prevent them from entering, while liquid treatments are often applied to the soil and can wash away or degrade over time, potentially leading to re-infestation. Spraying chemicals also targets active infestations rather than preventing future entries. Therefore, the distinctive characteristic of Termi-Mesh as a structural barrier for ongoing prevention solidifies its role in termite control.
