Termite Barriers, Treatments & Ongoing Protection
Professional termite inspections, active termite treatments, chemical management zones, reticulation recharging and preventative termite management solutions for Perth homes, investment properties and new building work.
Termite management for existing homes and new buildings
The appropriate termite management method depends on the construction type, access, site conditions, evidence of activity, existing systems and the intended level of ongoing protection.
Termite Inspection and Assessment
Visual inspection of accessible areas for evidence of termite activity, termite damage and conditions that may increase the risk of concealed termite entry.
Active Termite Treatments
Treatment options for confirmed termite activity are selected according to the location of activity, building construction, access and the approved treatment method.
Chemical Management Zones
Chemical soil treatment zones may be installed around accessible building perimeters, penetrations or other nominated areas where suitable for the property.
Reticulation System Recharging
Existing termite reticulation systems may be assessed and recharged where the system can be identified, is accessible and is compatible with the selected approved product.
Baiting and Monitoring Systems
Termite baiting and monitoring may be recommended where ongoing monitoring or an alternative to a continuous soil treatment zone is considered suitable.
New Building Termite Systems
Termite management systems for new homes, extensions and building work may include suitable physical or chemical systems coordinated with the construction process.
Assessment before treatment
Termite treatment should be based on the building, the available access and the evidence observed rather than applying the same method to every property.
Inspect
Assess accessible areas, construction features, termite evidence and conducive conditions.
Recommend
Explain the suitable treatment or management options and any access or preparation requirements.
Treat
Carry out the agreed work using the selected system and applicable product directions.
Monitor
Arrange follow-up inspections, monitoring visits or system replenishment where required.
Different buildings require different termite solutions
A termite management system is selected after considering the age of the building, slab and wall construction, existing systems, access and site conditions.
Relevant termite management standards
The applicable requirements depend on whether the work relates to new construction or an existing building.
Frequently asked questions
Important information about termite barriers, treatments, reticulation systems and ongoing inspections.
Does a termite barrier make a property termite-proof?
No. Termite management systems are intended to reduce the risk of concealed termite entry and assist with detection. Regular termite inspections and suitable property maintenance remain important.
What happens when active termites are found?
The location and extent of accessible activity are assessed before a suitable treatment is recommended. Active treatment may be followed by a broader termite management system and ongoing monitoring.
Can an existing termite reticulation system be recharged?
It may be possible where the system can be identified, remains accessible and is suitable for recharging with an approved compatible product. The system should be assessed before recharging.
How long does a termite treatment last?
The service period varies according to the product, system, application, soil conditions, building changes and environmental exposure. The treatment documentation should identify applicable inspection or replenishment requirements.
Are termite inspections still required after treatment?
Yes. A treatment or termite management system does not remove the need for regular inspections. Building alterations, landscaping, moisture and inaccessible areas can affect termite risk over time.
Which termite treatment is best for my property?
There is no single treatment suitable for every property. The preferred option depends on construction, access, termite activity, existing systems, soil and surrounding site conditions.
Concerned about termites?
Arrange an assessment before disturbing suspected termite activity or committing to a treatment method that may not be suitable for the property.
