A properly installed Termidor chemical barrier protects your property for 8 years. We're Termidor accredited applicators. Installed correctly, post treatment monitoring included, full written documentation provided.
Before we install a barrier, we carry out a termite inspection to assess your property and construction type. This is the required first step. No surprises, no obligation.
Termidor's active ingredient, fipronil, works through a mechanism called the Transfer Effect. Termites moving through a treated zone pick up the product on their bodies and transfer it through normal social contact back to the colony. Unlike repellent barriers that simply push termites away, Termidor eliminates the colony at the source.
The result: a Termidor chemical barrier installed around the full perimeter of your property delivers 8 years of continuous protection. Not a season, not a few years. Eight years, confirmed by independent field studies. The product's performance is the reason it remains the industry benchmark more than 20 years after its introduction.
Both barrier types have a legitimate place in termite management. Here's what distinguishes them, and why most Brisbane and Sunshine Coast properties are best suited to a chemical barrier.
For most residential properties in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, a chemical barrier using Termidor is the appropriate treatment. We'll confirm the right solution for your property's construction type before any work begins.
A chemical barrier is only as effective as its installation. Every gap in the treated zone is a potential entry point. Here's how we ensure full coverage.
We inspect the property before any chemical work begins, confirming construction type, perimeter measurements, soil conditions, and identifying any conducive conditions that need addressing first. No surprises mid job.
For slab on ground construction, we drill holes at set intervals along the entire external perimeter, through concrete paths, and at all penetrations. Holes are drilled to Australian Standard specifications, typically 150mm from the structure at 300mm intervals.
Termidor SC is injected into the soil at the correct dilution rate and volume per injection point. Product is applied at depth to form a continuous treated zone in the soil around and beneath the structure's footings.
All drill holes are patched with matching colour mortar after treatment. For pavers, they're relaid flush. The finished job should leave no visible trace of the work.
You receive a signed treatment certificate confirming product used, rates applied, areas treated, and the 8-year protection period. We schedule your first annual monitoring inspection before we leave.
From drilling through the perimeter slab to injecting Termidor at depth and patching the holes — this is exactly what happens on the day. No shortcuts, no gaps.
Filmed on a real Brisbane job using our Termidor High Pressure Device — the same equipment every installation gets, not a budget hand pump.
A Termidor barrier provides 8 years of protection. That doesn't mean 8 years of setting and forgetting. Annual monitoring confirms the barrier zone remains intact and that no new activity has emerged outside the treated area.
AS 3660.1 recommends annual inspections following a chemical barrier installation. We schedule your first monitoring visit before leaving. No chasing required from your end.
Your treatment certificate and all monitoring reports are stored digitally. If you sell the property or need documentation for insurance, it's immediately available.
Any construction work near the treated zone, such as paths, gardens, or additional footings, can disrupt barrier continuity. We check for disturbances and re-treat affected sections where needed.
Termidor's 8-year protection period is reliable, not approximate. We'll contact you in advance of your barrier's renewal date so there's no gap in coverage.
Termidor is an exceptional product. But it is only as effective as the installation. A barrier with gaps, incorrect concentration, or insufficient injection depth is not an 8 year barrier. It is a liability you won't discover until termites find the weakness.
When you're comparing quotes for a termite barrier, you're also choosing the company you'll need for the next 8 years. Annual inspections. Documentation if you sell the property. Re treatment if construction work disturbs the barrier zone. That relationship matters.
We answer all of these before any work begins. Call 0422 334 204 and ask us directly.
Not every property suits a chemical barrier. Fully tiled homes where internal drilling is unacceptable, certain heritage buildings, and properties with construction types that prevent adequate soil access are common examples. In those cases, a termite baiting system is the right approach. It is not a fallback. It is a legitimate, well proven method of termite colony elimination used across Brisbane every day.
Bait stations are installed in the ground at regular intervals around the property perimeter. When termites locate the bait they consume it and carry it back to the colony. The active ingredient disrupts the termites' ability to moult. The colony declines and eventually collapses over time.
Colony elimination through baiting typically takes several months. The outcome, when the system is correctly installed and monitored, is the same as a chemical barrier: colony elimination and ongoing protection.
Every station is inspected on each visit. We check for termite activity, replace consumed bait, record activity levels and update your file. Monitoring visits are every 6 months as standard.
This ongoing documentation is important. It gives you a full activity history, confirms the system is working, and provides records if you ever sell the property.
We will tell you honestly whether a chemical barrier or a baiting system is the better fit for your property. Some properties suit a combination of both. We assess the construction type, soil conditions and your property's specific risk factors before making any recommendation. Call 0422 334 204 to talk it through before committing to anything.
