Keeping the Termites Out with Termite Protection

There are three principal ways of keeping the termites at bay and preventing costly damage.

Physical termite barriers during pre construction. New homes and renovations.
Chemical termite barriers for post construction on existing homes.
Termite baiting systems for post construction.

Which type you go for depends on several factors. These include termite species, your location, type of construction and property type.

Pre-Construction, New Homes, Extensions and Renovations

Physical Barriers

Termite prevention should start before your home or extension is constructed to shield it from future termite attacks. In fact, the Building Code of Australia now requires the installation of physical termite protection in all new dwellings and renovations.

Physical termite protection such as TERM-seal and Termimesh are durable stainless steel mesh termite protection barriers. They are laid over concrete slabs before a property is built. Then they are integrated into the construction of a building. The mesh openings are too small for termites to squeeze through, and the metal is too hard for them to chew. Some meshes are impregnated with termiticides such as Bifenthrin and Fipronil that repels and kills termites.

Post-Construction, Existing Homes

When it comes to protecting an existing homes, homeowners have two main choices of termite management systems. These are Liquid Chemical barriers and monitored termite baiting systems.

Chemical Barriers

A chemical termite barrier involves applying liquid chemicals into soil. This is usually around the entire perimeter of your building’s foundations or under concrete flooring or pavers. At Pro Pest Control Gold Coast, we install chemical barriers using Termidor, one of the most effective termiticides on the market. Termidor is a onrepellent and undetectable by termites. It wipes out colonies through the transfer effect. When a termite comes into contact with the slow-acting toxin, it unwittingly carries it back to its nest. Then it spreads throughout the termite colony members.

Termidor has a life expectancy of around eight years. It also comes with a $2 Million Assurance Warranty. This warranty is only valid if installed by accredited termidor Applicators. Such as the team at Pro Pest Control Gold Coast.

We install many different types of chemical and physical barriers in accordance with guidelines set out by the QBCC. All termite protection barriers include the following.

Australian Standards 2014 & AS3660.2.-2017
Termiticide chemical labels
Termite physical barrier manufacturers
Chemical manufacturing companies
Building Code of Australia / National Construction Code

Termite Baits

This encompasses a series of bait stations around the perimeter of a home that are no more than 3 metres apart. This termite protection treatment method contains thin strips of eucalypt timber interceptors which termites love to munch on. The idea is that local termites will find the bait stations and start feeding on the wood. Which eventually kills the colony members.

We deploy some of the most effective termite baiting systems. These are the Exterra Elite Termite Management System, the Sentricon System and the Trelona Advanced Termite Baiting System.

Cost of Termite Protection

The cost of termite chemical barriers depends on numerous factors. These are the size of the home and the external landscaping around a property, such as the type of soil and whether there are pavers and concrete paths.

An average 3-4 bedroom home will cost between $2000 and $3500.
