Termite Protection for New Construction with Physical Barriers
If you plan to construct a new building, it’s a good idea to keep the termites out from the get-go with a physical barrier. Termite protection for new construction starts from the ground up—literally.
Because you’ll have electrical and plumbing that penetrate through the slab, as well as joints and edges on the slab, termites can gain entry to your home unseen without this physical barrier. Get the installation right, because termites need only a one-millimetre hole to come inside.
Put in a physical termite barrier—over the concrete slab foundation. Physical termite barriers stop concealed termite entry. This barrier is constructed from materials that contain a chemical that keep termites from gaining entry into your building.
Get a Termite Inspection Prior to Renovation
Renovating is the perfect time to assess or reassess your termite management system to the entire property (including the existing building). It would be a shame to spend big money on an extension or renovation, only to have termites ruin the fresh new look a short while down the track.
With Suburban Pest Management’s knowledgeable inspectors and technicians, you can have the assurance that your home will be safe from these destructive insects. If you are planning a renovation, you should get a termite inspection done prior to the commencement of any work.
There are several different options for termite protection for your home and extension. A physical barrier is one of the options for termite protection but you will need to consider it before the extension commences. There are also other options and your technician will be able to advise you on the best option based on your property and surrounds.

Whether or not you are planning to renovate, it is important for properties in Southern-Queensland to have a termite inspection done at least once a year. Without keeping tabs on termites, you run the risk of thousands of dollars in damage to the timber structures inside your home.

FREQUENTLY ASKED TERMITE TREATMENT QUESTIONS
If you have any questions about termite treatment, we have provided answers to some frequently asked questions below:
A termite baiting system is a highly effective pest control solution that involves strategically placing bait stations around your property. There are two main types: both use slow-acting, targeted toxins that termites carry back to their colony, gradually eliminating the entire infestation at its source. The difference between the two types is that one contains the active ingredient from the outset, while the other contain types of wood that attract termites, and if termites are discovered in the station, the technician will add an active ingredient.
Chemical treatments create a barrier to prevent termite entry, while baiting systems eliminate the entire colony over time. The best option depends on the level of infestation and property structure.
Treatment options include chemical soil treatments, baiting systems, and physical barriers. The best approach depends on the severity of the infestation and property structure.
Chemical barriers create a treated zone around a property to prevent termites from entering, while physical barriers block termite access through the foundations. Physical barriers are more commonly used on new builds and renovations. Both provide long-term termite protection.
The cost of a termite barrier depends on the property size, treatment type, and product used. Chemical barriers range upward of $2,000, while physical barriers vary based on installation.
The choice depends on factors like termite species, property layout, and budget. Professional pest controllers assess the situation to recommend the best system.
Yes, baiting systems use low-toxicity products that specifically target termites, making them safe for families and pets. However, their effectiveness depends on regular monitoring and maintenance.
Regular termite inspections, moisture control, and preventive treatments like chemical barriers or baiting systems help protect your home from termites.
An effective termite bait system, if regularly monitored, will attract termites if they are nearby into the stations and away from the property.
Yes, termite baits are designed to be safe for pets as they contain low-toxicity active ingredients that specifically affect termites. Always consult a professional for proper placement.
Yes, a termite inspection before renovations helps identify existing termite damage and provides an opportunity for preventive measures to be put in place to protect new structures.
