Termite-free investment

MANILA, Philippines - Years of hard work and sacrifice eventually lead to immeasurable rewards, including a safe, serene home for oneself or the family. Such an investment allows for precious moments and memories, and because of this, it’s a place unlike any other. The culmination of long hours and wise planning, the dream home is a comfortable space that can be a haven as well to future generations.

There is a need, therefore, to maintain the quality of the house, and make it perpetually habitable. Regularly conducting safety checks keeps homeowners aware of the condition of the house. They should be able to spot signs that warn of potential deterioration, or impending threats.

Among the most common threats to houses and buildings are termite infestations. The hungry, destructive little creatures indiscriminately attack the wood and paper items within range, and they usually go on their feeding sprees unnoticed. These pests cause costly damage to property, their activities even causing accidents and serious injuries to residents.

The proper pest control device, however, can deal with the problem. One of the most effective is Stedfast, an environmentally friendly solution that is safe as well to humans. Manufactured by globally renowned chemical company BASF, Stedfast is a pre-construction soil and wood treatment. It acts as a barrier that exterminates termites when they attempt to penetrate the treated soil.

BASF has also created various solutions to termite problems. Through extensive research and continuous experimentation with changing technologies, the company is devising safer, more practical ways to deal with termite colonies. In March, one of these new termiticide products will be launched, to give homeowners another efficient and advantageous option.

Preventing expensive disasters and knowing how to deal with potentially harmful situations will help protect one’s valuable investment. Termite attacks have caused untold damage locally and in different parts of the world, so those who wish to continue living comfortably in their well-deserved homes must know how to keep such destructive pests away for good.
