Installing A Termtie Barrier in Sydney

What are Termite Barriers?

They act as a shield, deterring termites from accessing the wooden structures of your home. These barriers can be physical, chemical, or a combination of both, creating an effective defense against termite infestations. They help to prevent termites from gaining entry. As termites look for sources of food and moisture, termite protection creates a protective zone to block their path.

There are over 360 termite species in Australia, but the most destructive include:

  • Subterranean Termites – Coptotermes acinaciformis
  • Mastotermes Darwinsiensis
  • Drywood Termites – Cryptotermes brevis

These species can cause major structural damage if left unchecked. A termite barrier provides an added line of defense to keep them away.

Importance of A Termite Barrier

There are a few key reasons why a barrier is so important for Australian homes:

  • Prevention – They prevent termites from gaining initial access into the structure. This first line of defense helps stop infestations before they start.
  • Protection – By blocking entry points, they protect the entire structure from attack. This includes walls, floorings, roofing, wood fixtures and more.
  • Peace of Mind – Homeowners can enjoy greater peace of mind knowing there is an additional protective barrier securing the property from termites.
  • Higher Resale Value – Properties with termite protection correctly installed tend to have higher resale values due to decreased risk of termite damage.

A termite protection system provides a vital, proactive guard around the property. Keep reading to learn about the different types of barriers available.

Types of Termite Barriers

A termite barrier comes in two types: physical and chemical. Each has its advantages, and the best choice often depends on your specific needs.

1. Physical Barriers

Physical termite barriers are materials installed during the construction of a building to prevent termites from entering. They often consist of stainless steel mesh or crushed granite particles placed in areas where termites might try to gain access. They can also be made of different sized gravel layers to block access.

Advantages of Physical A Termite Barrier

  • Long-Lasting Protection: They provide a durable solution that can last the lifetime of the building.
  • Chemical-Free: Ideal for those concerned about the use of chemicals in and around the home.
  • Compliance with Building Codes: Often required in new constructions to meet Australian Standards.
  • Low maintenance.

2. Chemical Termite Barriers

Chemical barriers involve treating the soil upt ot the concrete slab and around wooden frames. They use chemicals called termiticides to deter or kill termites. There are two types:

Repellent Termiticides

These deter termites from crossing over the treated zone due to the repellent chemicals. Forcing them to avoid treated areas. They are effective but require very precise application. Otherwise termites may find gaps in the barrier if not applied thoroughly.

Non-Repellent Termiticides

Non-repellent options, include products like Termidor don’t repel termites. Instead, termites unknowingly pass through the treated soil. Then they carry the termiticide back to the colony, leading to its elimination. The two most common non-repellent termiticides used are Fipronil and Imidacloprid.

Advantages of Chemical Barriers:

  • Long-lasting protection against even the toughest termite infestations.
  • Can be used on existing homes.
  • Less costly to install vs physical barriers.
  • Provide effective protection when applied correctly.

Barrier Safety – Are They Safe For My Home?

When installed correctly by licensed professionals, registered termiticides have very low risks to humans and pets. The termiticides bind with the soil particles around the home to create a protective chemical zone. As long as the termiticide labels are followed, they offer a safe means of termite control.

Physical vs Chemical: Which is Better?

There is no definitive answer to this question – each barrier method has its own advantages. Many pest management pros recommend using both physical and chemical for maximum protection.

The choice may also depend on factors like:

  • New vs existing construction
  • Soil type
  • Budget
  • Personal preference

In new builds, physical barriers can be installed during initial construction. For existing homes, retrofitting physical treatment may be more difficult or costly if excavation is required. This is where chemical barriers provide an effective option.

Ultimately the decision depends on your specific situation. Our pest management experts can provide site inspections and recommendations on the best termite barrier treatment.

How Much Do Termite Barriers Cost?

The cost of a termite barrier depends on several factors, including:

  • Type of barrier: Physical barriers tend to cost more upfront, while chemical barriers may require periodic maintenance.
  • Size of the property: Larger homes naturally need more materials and labor.
  • Property type: Sloped or complex land structures may increase costs.
  • Pre or post-construction: Pre-construction installations are usually more cost-effective.

As a general guideline for a barrier using Termidor – costs range from $1000 – $4000 for a typical single story house. Physical treatment typically starts from $3000.

Multi-story homes, large properties or commercial installations may cost more. We provide free quotes for the exact cost of installing a termite barrier for your property.

Timber Secure Termite Insurance

An added protection for peace of mind is securing termite damage insurance for your home. Policies like Timber Secure cover the costs to repair or replace damaged structures. This provides an extra safeguard on top of your installed barriers.
