Installing a termite barrier system during the construction phase is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your new home. Once the build is complete, access to key areas of the structure is limited, making it much more difficult and costly to install effective termite protection. By putting a barrier system in place at the very start, you can safeguard the foundation of your property against termites before they ever have the chance to move in.

At PestOz, we work closely with builders throughout the construction process to ensure the termite barrier is installed correctly and in compliance with all relevant Australian Standards and state building regulations. Every property is different, which is why we offer two trusted options:

• Chemical barrier system – This involves creating a treated zone of soil around the perimeter of the structure. The specially formulated termiticide is designed to repel or eliminate termites as they attempt to move through the soil, forming an invisible but highly effective line of defence.
• Physical barrier system – This option uses durable materials that are installed into the structure itself to physically block termite entry points. Once in place, the barrier provides long-term, maintenance-free protection.

Both systems are designed to provide reliable, long-term termite management, giving homeowners peace of mind that their investment is secure. Choosing the right barrier during construction not only reduces the risk of costly termite damage but also ensures your home meets all compliance requirements from day one.
