    What you are buying

    A treatment zone, not a promise in a bottle

    We trench where there is soil. We drill and inject where the concrete or paving is situated around the perimeter of the building. A continuous termite barrier/treatment zone around the building is recommended as essential.

    Most zones last 8 to 10 years. A yearly inspection completes the management system.

    Subtearean termites live in the soil and only leave to feed on timber in and around your home. They’re drawn to moisture and decaying wood, then build hidden mud tubes to travel from the ground straight into your property completely unseen.

    The build

    Which style of construction?

    Queenslander

    This style is built on stumps which termites can use for access. They can access even with ant cappings. We go underneath, then run a continuous zone.

    Slab on ground

    The zone sits against the slab edge. Paths and patios that cover that edge are drilled and injected to provide the best protection.

    Highset

    Subfloor where we can get access, plus the perimeter. Moisture and garden beds against the base are the usual bridges.

    Townhouse

    Shared walls and tight side access change the method but are still able to be protected.
