There are a few things that can help you protect your house from termites. One is to have a termite barrier installed. This is a physical barrier, usually a metal sheet, placed around your property's perimeter. The termite treatment prevents termites from getting into your home and causing damage to wooden structures and timber framing.

A termite barrier is essential for residential and commercial properties, especially in Sydney, where the risk of termite infestations is high. Termites can cause extensive damage to the structural integrity of buildings, leading to costly repairs.

Another way to protect your house from termites is to use chemicals. Several chemicals can be used to kill or repel a termite attack. These chemicals can be applied to the soil around your home, or injected into the wood itself.

While termite barriers are a powerful preventive measure, it's essential to remember that no solution is entirely foolproof. Regular inspections and maintenance by E1 Pest Solutions will help ensure that your termite barrier remains effective against the diverse termite population found in Sydney.

Our team utilises the best chemicals and strategies to create termite barriers tailored to the specific termite threats in your area. We also offer a 7-day follow-up service to ensure the effectiveness of your termite barrier, and our money-back guarantee is a testament to the durability of our solutions.

At E1 Pest Solutions, we understand that protecting your property from termites is paramount. That's why we emphasise the significance of termite inspections.

A termite inspection is a visual examination of the accessible areas of a property for evidence of live termites and their damage. These are your first line of defence against these destructive pests, even if you have a termite barrier in place.

Why are termite inspections vital?

  • Early Detection — Termites can silently infiltrate your home or business, causing substantial damage before you even notice. Regular termite inspections can detect their presence in the early stages, preventing costly structural damage.
  • Investment Protection — Inspections are important because live termites and their damage can threaten the structural integrity of a building. As such, termite inspections can help protect your investment, whether it be your home or commercial property.
  • Peace of Mind — Knowing your property is termite-free provides peace of mind. It ensures a safe and healthy environment for your family, employees or customers. With E1 Pest Solutions, you can rest easy, knowing that experts are watching over your property.

Even with a Termite Barrier, Regular Inspections are Crucial

While a termite barrier provides an effective defence against termites, it's not invincible. Over time, barriers can deteriorate, allowing termites to find their way in. Regular termite inspections complement your barrier, ensuring its continued effectiveness.

Australia Standards

Having pest problems?

Contact Us

In New South Wales, the Australian Standards for termite barriers is AS 3660.1-2000. This standard covers the requirements for the installation of physical and chemical barriers to prevent subterranean termites from entering a building. The Australian standards specify that a termite barrier must be installed around the perimeter of a building, as well as around all openings, penetrations and potential entry points. In addition, the standard requires that a termite barrier be maintained in good condition and inspected regularly for damage or deterioration. If you are considering having a termite barrier installed in your home, it is important to ensure that it meets the requirements of the Australian Standard. Failure to do so could leave your home vulnerable to an infestation of these destructive pests. Australian Pesticides must be used for chemical barriers.

Physical Termite Barriers

A physical termite barrier is a material that is used to block or repel termites from entering a building. There are a variety of materials that can be used for this purpose, including concrete, metal, and plastic. The most effective termite barrier treatment is one that is placed around the entire perimeter of the building, as this will prevent termites from entering through any cracks or openings. In some cases, physical barriers may also be used in conjunction with chemical termite barriers, which will kill any termite invasion that comes into contact with the material. While a physical termite barrier can be an effective way to keep these termite infestations out of your home, it is important to note that it will not kill existing colonies. If you suspect that you already have a termite infestation, you should contact a pest control professional for assistance.

Physical Termite Barriers

Termite collars

Termite collars around pipes are common in many homes. They are installed to help prevent termites from getting into the home through pipes that come into contact with the ground. Termites are small insects that live in the ground and feed on wood. If they get into a home, they can cause severe damage to the structure of the house. Termite collars around pipes help to keep these termites out of the home by creating a barrier between the ground and the pipes. The collar is made of a material that termites cannot penetrate, such as metal or concrete. In addition, the collar is often treated with a chemical that is harmful to termites. This makes it an effective way to keep these pests out of the home. These collars are put on through the construction process of new buildings for the property owners.

Physical Termite Barriers

Termite blankets

A termite barrier blanket is a plastic sheet that is placed on top of concrete slabs before the slab is poured. The purpose of the barrier blanket is to prevent termites from getting into the slab and damaging it. Termites are social insects that live in the ground and feed on wood. If they get into the concrete slab, they can eat away at the wooden framing or support beams, causing the slab to collapse. The barrier blanket creates a physical barrier that termites cannot cross. In addition to preventing termites from getting into the slab, the barrier blanket also helps to keep moisture out. Moisture can cause the concrete to crack and allow termites to enter through concealed termite entry points. By keeping the moisture out, the barrier blanket helps to extend the life of the concrete slab.

Chemical Termite Barrier

A termite chemical barrier is a trench and flood and/or drill and inject into concrete method to reach soil to create a long-lasting barrier between the soil and the wood of existing structures. This barrier is intended to prevent termites from being able to tunnel through the soil and reach the wood, where they can cause extensive damage. There are a number of different Australian pesticides that can be used to create a termite chemical barrier, and the most effective option will depend on the specific situation. In many cases, a combination of two or more products will be necessary to provide adequate protection. Having Termite chemical barriers installed can be a complex and challenging process, so it is important to consult with a professional before taking any action. failure to properly install a barrier can leave your home at risk of serious damage. We provide up to eight years warranty. An annual Inspection must be done to not void eight years warranty on chemical termite barriers.

Trench and flooding

Subterranean termites are a serious problem for property owners. These pests can cause extensive damage to your home, and they're notoriously difficult to eradicate. One common method of termite control is to create a chemical barrier around your property digging 300mm deep and 300mm wide. This barrier is typically made by digging a trench around the perimeter of your house and flooding it with a termiticide. This method can be effective, but it's important to note that it can also be dangerous. The chemicals used in termites are highly toxic, and if they're not used correctly, they can pose a serious health risk to humans and animals. In addition, this method of termite control can be expensive and time-consuming. If you're considering using chemical treatments to control termites, be sure to consult with a professional before proceeding.

Drilling

Termites are one of the most feared pests by property owners. The damage they can cause is extensive, and the repair costs can be astronomical. One way to protect your home from termite activity is to create a chemical barrier around the perimeter. This involves drilling holes in the concrete and injecting a termiticide into the soil. The chemicals will create a barrier that will kill any termites that try to cross it. It is important to have a professional handle this process, as it requires specialized knowledge and equipment. However, the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is protected from termites is well worth the cost.
Fipronil termiticide

Chemical Termite Barrier

Fipronil termiticide

Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide that belongs to the phenylpyrazole family. It is commonly used to kill ants, cockroaches, and termites. Fipronil works by interfering with the insects' nervous system, causing them to become excited and eventually die. In high enough concentrations, fipronil can also be lethal to mammals. For this reason, it is important to use fipronil products with caution and only as directed. Termites are especially susceptible to fipronil, as they rely heavily on their sense of touch to communicate and forage for food. When they come into contact with fipronil, it disrupts their nervous system and they are unable to function properly. This eventually leads to the death of the termite colonies.
Bifenthrin termiticide

Chemical Termite Barrier

Bifenthrin termiticide

Bifenthrin is a type of pyrethroid, which is a man-made version of the natural pesticide pyrethrin. Pyrethrins are found in chrysanthemum flowers, and they work by attacking the nervous system of insects. Bifenthrin is more potent than pyrethrin, and it is used to kill a wide variety of pests, including termites. When termites ingest or come into contact with bifenthrin, it quickly overwhelmes their nervous system and shuts it down. This process is known as " over-stimulation." In high enough doses, bifenthrin will kill termites outright. However, even lower doses can be effective to force termites away from entering an area being a repellent termiticide. When termites detect bifenthrin in their environment, they will avoid it altogether. As a result, bifenthrin can be an effective tool for both killing existing termites and preventing new ones from taking up residence.
