Pre-Construction Termite Control

We have recently treated a termite protection to a house in Bulleen by installing the Reticulation System. Reticulation is a system designed to distribute termiticides around the base of buildings to form a termite barrier in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3660.1-2014 (for more details see the Termites Protection for New Buildings).

Some slabs are concreted in 2 stages. Some termite protection specialists sometimes either ignore or forget about how important and high-risk areas for termite infestation it can be. Construction Joint can be treated with a physical barrier as seen in the photo and before any timber framing is installed.

The following images show the termite protection service provided by Best Termites Control in Melbourne by using Home Guard Blue Sheets. Home Guard Blue sheets solution is a perfect subfloor termite protection barrier system that complies with the Australian Standards 3660.1.

Part B chemical Biflex Aquamax is being applied to the perimeter of the building before concreting. In Part B of termites protection and treatment, additional chemical and/or physical products will be used around the perimeter of the house at varying stages during the building process.

The following picture shows the Part A chemical termites treatment to a new building. The Part A Termites Treatment are applied to new and renovated sub-floor areas before floorboards are installed. In Part A of termites protection and treatment, termite barriers installed during construction and will be applied as a barrier before the slab has been poured or in the “pre-slab” phase of construction.

Last week one of my regular customer's builders called me and asked me for urgent help, he was not able to get an occupancy permit for the 2 Units he built and completed in Dromana, Victoria. He was not informed by the surveyor that it requires termite protection so he did not do it during construction. The construction is completed now and ready to hand over to the landlord.
