What an AS 3660 termite barrier actually is

An AS 3660 termite barrier is an invisible shield built into and around your home, designed to stop termites reaching the timber before they cause damage. It works in advance, so you are protected before any activity shows up.

AS 3660.1 is the Australian Standard that sets out how barriers should be applied to new buildings. It covers how a barrier is installed so that there are no gaps termites can slip through. Our licensed technicians follow it closely and use specialised equipment to apply each barrier properly.

That is why a professional job matters. A barrier only protects the parts of the structure it fully covers, and a missed joint or penetration leaves a way in. A compliant installation is about complete coverage, not just the product used. We often combine chemical and physical methods, so if termites get past one layer, the other is still working.

Barrier types

Barrier types we install

We install chemical barriers, physical barriers and baiting systems, and we favour non-chemical options where the property allows. Our licensed technicians recommend the combination that suits your soil, slab and building layout.

Chemical barriers

Liquid termiticides are applied to the soil around and under the structure, forming a treated zone that termites avoid or cannot cross. Protection typically lasts 5 to 8 years, depending on soil conditions and how the chemical breaks down over time.

Physical barriers

Stainless steel mesh, graded stone or sand, granite particles and metal shields all block termite entry without chemicals. Stainless steel screens are fitted carefully over weep holes and vents, while particulate layers are too dense for termites to tunnel through.

Where the building allows it, I’d choose a physical barrier first. No chemicals around the kids and pets, and it can last as long as the building does.

Baiting systems

Bait stations are placed around the property to draw in foraging termites and work through to the colony. They suit sites where a full barrier is not practical, and we often use them alongside a barrier for layered protection.

1. Book and assess

We install and maintain your barrier in five steps, and a licensed technician handles each one. We are family-owned and operated, with over 10 years of local experience. Book anywhere between 6am and 9pm, seven days a week. The first step is a free termite inspection with a $0 call-out fee.

2. Find the weak points

Your technician walks the property and identifies vulnerable entry points before any work begins. We then give you a fixed-value quote, so you know the cost upfront.

3. Seal and fit

We systematically seal every crack, joint and penetration point. Stainless steel screens are carefully fitted over weep holes and ventilation openings. Application follows AS 3660.1, using specialised equipment.

4. Hand over and monitor

We walk you through what was done. A barrier is only as good as its upkeep, so we recommend regular termite assessments to catch any breach early. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee backs the work.

How long does a termite barrier last?

Chemical barriers are typically effective for 5 to 8 years, while physical barriers can last the life of the building if they are installed properly during construction. How long yours lasts depends on the barrier type, your soil and how well it is maintained.

Chemical barriers: 5 to 8 years

A liquid termiticide forms a treated zone in the soil, and that zone breaks down over time. Soil conditions and chemical degradation both affect how long protection holds, so we plan re-treatment around your property rather than a fixed date.

Physical barriers: potentially decades

Stainless steel mesh can last the lifetime of the building, but only when it is fitted correctly during construction. Poor installation is the main thing that shortens its life.

Why layered defences matter

Combining chemical and physical methods gives you a second line of defence. Regular inspections catch any breach early, whichever barrier you have.

Termite barrier questions in Bella Vista

Do new homes in Bella Vista still need a termite barrier?

Yes. New homes can still be at risk, so a barrier is worth having. Professional barriers usually combine chemical and physical methods to meet AS 3660.1, which gives you a layered defence.

Can a termite barrier damage my home?

A barrier is not designed to damage your home. Problems can come from poor installation or a lack of maintenance, which is why our licensed technicians do the work and why regular inspections matter.

How often should I have my barrier inspected?

Regular termite assessments are how breaches get caught early, so we recommend keeping them up. Our free termite inspection and $0 call-out fee mean there is no cost to start the conversation.

How does fixed-value pricing work?

After we inspect your property, we quote a fixed price for the work, so you know the cost before we start. Results can vary with how much termite activity is already present, and we will explain this when we quote.
