Termites are a serious threat to new homes in Sydney. They work quietly and quickly. If you don’t install proper protection during construction, you risk major damage and high repair costs.

Australia’s building codes require termite protection for new builds. This is not optional. It’s a legal and practical necessity.

We offer termite management systems that meet all standards and give long-term protection. Here’s what you need to know.

Termite Reticulation System

A termite reticulation system is a network of underground pipes. These pipes deliver termiticide into the soil around your home. The system creates a chemical barrier that stops termites from entering.

Installed before the slab is poured
Easy to refill without digging
Long-term protection with scheduled maintenance
Compatible with most termiticides

We install systems like TermX, Altis, and Camilleri. Each system is designed for durability and ease of service.

Termite Reticulation System Refill Cost

Refilling the system is essential. Chemicals break down over time. To keep the barrier strong, you need regular refills.

The termite reticulation system refill cost starts from $750 (Smaller systems typically start from around $750, with most homes ranging between $750 and $1,500 depending on system length, chemicals, and access. Larger or more complex homes may incur higher costs.)
Frequency depends on the chemical used
Termidor refills last 3 to 8 years
Larger homes may cost more

We provide clear quotes and service reminders. No hidden fees.

Termite Barriers

Physical termite barriers block termite entry points. These are installed during construction and last for decades.

Types of barriers:

Termite collars for pipes and cables
Polymer sheeting under slabs and walls
Metal mesh or ant caps on stumps and piers

These barriers force termites into visible areas. That makes detection easier and damage less likely.

Chemical Soil Treatments

Chemical treatments are applied to soil before or after slab pouring. They create a zone that kills termites on contact.

Non-repellent termiticides like Termidor are most effective
Applied around the perimeter and under slabs
Works well with physical barriers

We use approved chemicals and follow all safety guidelines.

Termite Baiting Systems

Baiting systems are used when barriers aren’t possible. Stations are placed around the property and checked regularly.

Termites feed on bait and spread it to the colony
Colony collapse happens over time
Requires monitoring every 6 to 12 months

This method is slow but effective. It’s ideal for sensitive sites or complex builds.

Compliance and Certification

All our systems meet AS3660.1 standards. We provide:

Installation certificates
Maintenance schedules
Warranty options
