Termite Protection
How does a Termite Management System provide protection to your home?
A termite management system is a long-term approach designed to reduce the risk of termites gaining access to a building. Depending on the property and its construction, a system may involve a termite barrier, chemical soil treatment, baiting and monitoring stations, physical termite barriers or a reticulation system.
The right approach depends on factors such as:
- The age and construction of the property
- The type of construction or concrete slab
- Existing termite risk
- Surrounding soil and landscaping
- Nearby trees, gardens or bushland
- Whether the property is a new build or an existing structure
A termite treatment is generally used to address an existing termite infestation or immediate risk. A termite protection or management system is designed to be part of a longer-term strategy to help protect the property over the long term. For most properties, the best approach combines professional termite inspection, an appropriate termite treatment where required, and a suitable protection system with annual or biannual inspections.
Termite management systems are suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial properties, from family homes to offices, warehouses, retail premises and other commercial buildings.
Our Termite Protection and Management Systems
There is no single termite protection system that is suitable for every property, so we take the time to understand your unique situation before offering a recommended solution.
Depending on your property, a termite management system may include:
- Chemical termite barriers
- Termite baiting and monitoring systems
- Physical termite barriers
- Reticulation systems
- Ongoing termite inspections and maintenance
Our recommended approach is designed to provide more than a quick fix, as it focuses on creating a practical, long-term termite management strategy that can be maintained over time for maximum effect. A termite protection system forms part of a broader termite management strategy to reduce these risks and identify problems as soon as possible.
Where eligible, Allure termite management systems can provide either five or eight years of protection with a full company warranty, depending on the system installed and applicable conditions. Annual termite inspections are an important part of maintaining ongoing protection and warranty requirements.
Our 3-Step Termite Protection And Management Systems Process
Australian Standards Approved Termite Protection and Management Systems
Termite management systems should be selected and installed with consideration to the relevant Australian Standards, including the AS 3660 Series. The appropriate system depends on the building, its construction and the specific requirements of the property.
Chemical Termite Barriers
Chemical management systems involve applying a termiticide to create a treated zone in the soil around or beneath a structure. These systems can be suitable for existing properties and some new construction projects. They help prevent termites from passing through treated areas to reach the building. The application method and protection duration depend on the product, site conditions, and installation requirements.
Termite Baiting and Monitoring Systems
Baiting and monitoring stations to monitor termite activity around a property. When termites are detected, the system can be used as part of a management strategy. They are especially useful for property owners seeking a targeted approach or when other protection methods are unsuitable.
Physical Termite Barriers
A physical termite barrier is a management system installed during the construction phase, whether that is installed in a new house under construction or during renovation of your home. A chemically impregnated plastic sheet or paint-on product is used to prevent hidden termite ingress. Unlike traditional chemical barriers, physical ones can offer termite protection that won’t need replenishment.
Reticulation Systems
Reticulation systems involve underground piping installed around or beneath a building, allowing for the application of termiticide over time without frequent excavation. They are typically considered during construction and offer a practical long-term termite management system.
Eco-Friendly Termite Protection Options
Effective termite protection does not necessarily mean using more chemicals. Depending on your property and its level of risk, options such as baiting and monitoring systems can help minimise unnecessary chemical use by targeting termite activity where it is identified.
Where chemical treatments are appropriate, products are applied by our trained pest technicians in accordance with product label directions, relevant regulations and applicable industry requirements. When professionally installed and managed correctly, suitable eco-friendly termite protection systems are safe around homes, families, pets and gardens while helping reduce the risk of termite damage.
