Protecting Your Home Starts With the Right Termite Barriers When Building Your Home

Building your new home or extending your current home?
Congratulations! Designing your new home and extension is exciting and thrilling; but don’t forget to protect your home from termites also setting up home!

New South Wales has legislation that builders must integrate termite risk management (TRM) systems during construction to protect your home from potential infestations.
Australia enforces standards such as AS 3660.1, which outlines the requirements for designing and constructing subterranean termite management systems.

There are two types of Termite Risk Managements systems and for best results, combining them is what we recommend!

Your home should have physical barriers installed during construction and these will typically be:
Greenzone Barriers, Greenzone Sock Termite Barrier (also known as ‘collars’)and using Greenzone Expansion Foam.
These are physical barriers that stops termites from entering your home. They will often have chemicals impregnated into them as well.

Chemical Termite Barriers

Installing Chemical barriers is the next stage in termite proofing your home and having these installed during construction is a lot easier than adding them at a later stage.
Termite barriers are installed to work in the soil that surrounds the home, so installing them before your landscaping and hardscapes are added is ideal.
Most often, it is a termite reticulation system or a soil termite barrier,
Read our indepth article on Termite Barriers.

In areas with high termite activity, selecting appropriate termite management strategies is paramount. Factors such as soil type, climate, and known termite presence in specific regions play a significant role. Make informed decisions on termite management for new building work to ensure your home remains protected for years to come.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second time we have used So Off Pest, and I have been happy every time.  A great service is obviously important, but all of the interaction that I have with this team in the lead up is also excellent. The communication from the team when booking, all the way to the service technician when they are on site. I cannot praise them enough. Thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently used So Pest Off for a very serious ant problem in my car (don’t even get me started it was thousands and thousands of ants). Firstly, Eileen was extremely helpful on the phone, explaining step by step what would happen, she then was able to fit me in asap. Secondly, Shant and his teammate were great. They explained to me what they were going to do and were very thorough. I believe Shant said ‘this was the worse ant problem he has seen in a car’ but he did not back down. You could tell he was passionate and actually wanted to help me, not just because he was getting paid to do so, a genuine care to help me fix this problem. It was a layered approach in the us VS the ants but we came out victorious (I say we, it was all So Pest Off). I’m so glad I called this company, they will forever be my number 1 go to for any future pest problems (hopefully no more ants in cars though). 5 stars doesn’t capture how grateful I am and how much I recommend them. Thank you so much, from a very sincere, and ant free, customer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend So Pest Off highly enough! I recently reached out via their website to enquire about a maggot issue in my apartment. Within just 30 minutes of submitting my quote query, I received a phone call from Eileen. Instead of simply booking a job and taking my money, Eileen took the time to assess the situation and honestly informed me that the issue was actually a strata matter rather than an individual apartment problem. The fact that she went above and beyond to save me unnecessary costs and provided a clear next step toward a solution was invaluable. It is rare to find such integrity and genuine care in customer service these days. They have definitely gained a lifelong fan here. 100% excellent service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a full pest treatment completed through Pest Off and are so impressed with their service. I found them via Google and texted to ask for a quote. Eileen was so easy to deal with - she replied promptly, politely and explained everything well. The whole thing was explained and booked via text - I didn't even have to get on a call (IYKYK 😂)! Aaron arrived exactly on time and was the perfect service provider. He explained the process and took his time to do a thorough job. I didnt once feel he was in a rush to get things "over and done with". He even took his shoes off coming into the house!!! Aaron was so helpful and proactive (without being pushy) that I've already booked in for Pest Off to help with birds nesting under our solar panels. Will happily use for our regular pest treatments moving forward and highly recommend to others for their pest management. Thanks, guys!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently had a termite inspection with So Pest Off. From the first phone call with Eileen to the inspection with Shant, the whole process was so easy. Shant was thorough, and explained everything he was doing as he went and was happy to answer my many questions regarding termites, with his extensive knowledge. And Eileen is also very knowledgeable and was so lovely over the phone when booking my inspection. I would not hesitate to recommend So Pest Off to anyone and will definitely use them again in the future.

What TMR System Do I Have Installed?

Many home owners when we ask them about what is installed at their home as these are built into the home during construction and barrier systems are placed around the home in the garden areas.
The easiest way to find out your home has in place is to go to your meter box and in there should be the details on what is installed and who installed it.

Termite Certificate Of Compliance NSW

We have included what our certificate looks like. You will know what was installed and what termiticides were used. This is how you can keep your termite barriers managed and topped up.

Keeping your home termite-free requires ongoing maintenance and regular inspections.
Every termite management system has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost and environmental impact. No system is foolproof, as termites have been known to find their way around treatment zones. Regular inspections by a licensed, professional pest controller is the best way to identify any signs of termite activity.

Also be aware that some systems require periodic professional inspections to maintain the validity of their warranties.
It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure regular professional inspections are conducted on a regular basis.
Home owners should also be vigilant looking for the tell-tale signs like mud tubes, discarded wings, or damaged wood.

Termite Products We Use

If we detect termite activity, we provide a tailored treatment plan using the most trusted solutions in the industry.

The benchmark for termite control in Australia, Termidor is a non-repellent termiticide. Termites cannot detect it, so they pass through treated zones and carry the chemical back to the colony. Termidor’s transfer effect ensures entire colonies are eliminated. It is undetectable, fast-acting and long-lasting.

Comes with the Termidor Assurance Warranty — up to $2 million in structural damage cover (when applied by an accredited technician like So Pest Off).

Termidor can be applied as a perimeter treatment or combined with other systems for added protection.

Trelona is a state-of-the-art baiting system that attracts and destroys termites at the colony level. It can be installed around your property and used as a standalone solution or combined with Termidor for unmatched dual protection.

Works in synergy with Termidor for total colony elimination
Ideal for homes with construction constraints or high termite pressure
Requires regular monitoring for optimal performance

Yearly Termite Inspections Are What We Suggest For every Home Owner!

Pre Construction Termite Treatment FAQ’s

Pre construction termite treatment involves applying termiticides to soil before concrete slabs are poured or buildings are constructed. This creates a chemical barrier that prevents subterranean termites from accessing the structure. Pre construction treatment is required by Australian Standards for all new buildings and is the most effective termite protection method available.

Pre construction treatment must be completed after site preparation and before concrete is poured. Treatment is applied to prepared soil, under slab areas, penetrations for plumbing and services, and around the building perimeter. Timing is critical – once concrete is poured, pre construction treatment cannot be applied, requiring more expensive post-construction methods.

Pre construction termite treatments typically provide protection for the life of the building when applied correctly. Modern termiticides used in pre construction treatments offer 50+ years of protection. However, we recommend annual termite inspections to ensure the chemical barrier remains intact and no termite activity is present.

Yes, Australian Standard AS 3660.1 requires termite management systems for all new construction. Pre construction chemical soil treatment is the most common method for complying with this standard. Builders and homeowners must ensure pre construction treatment is completed and certified before construction proceeds to avoid building code violations.

Pre construction termite treatment costs vary based on building footprint size, soil type, site access, number of penetrations, and local council requirements. For accurate pricing for your building project, please visit our pricing page or contact us for a free quote.

Yes, we provide complete documentation including pre construction treatment certificates, site plans showing treated areas, durable notice plates installed on-site, Australian Standards compliance certification, and treatment records for council approval. Our certification meets all building code and lender requirements for construction projects.
