If your termite barrier went in years ago, nobody really knows whether it still works. We top up termite barriers for homes in Katoomba and the Blue Mountains, starting with a free inspection and a $0 call-out fee. We check the treated zone, tell you plainly what it needs, and give you a fixed-value quote.
We’re a family-owned and operated business with licensed technicians, available 6am to 9pm, 7 days a week. Call 02 9023 2054 or request a quote to book your inspection.
A chemical soil barrier has a shorter practical life than a physical barrier, so it needs periodic renewal or a top up to stay effective. Over time the treated zone can thin out or break, and termites only need one small gap to get through unseen.
On Katoomba properties, a barrier installed years ago has usually been through a lot. Soil shifts, gardens get reworked, paths and retaining walls go in, and renovations cut across the original treatment. Moisture on mountain blocks adds to the wear.
Each of these can leave a break in the treated zone. A termite barrier works only while that zone is continuous and correctly dosed, so a top up restores it before a gap becomes an entry point.
Waiting for visible damage means the termites have already found their way in. A scheduled termite barrier top up costs less and causes less disruption than repairing timber after the fact.
Termites get through a barrier wherever the treated zone is broken, so we inspect these weak points before we decide what needs a top up.
Gaps around piers, plumbing and other penetrations let termites bypass the soil barrier entirely.
Soil disturbed near retaining walls, paths and entry zones can break the continuity of the treated zone.
These are hard to reach once a slab is poured, so we check for gaps and note where drilling and injection may be needed.
New decks, extensions and landscaping often cut through an existing barrier without anyone realising.
A licensed technician inspects first, treats only where it’s needed, and records every treated zone. The work is done to AS 3660.1, and you’ll know exactly what we did and where.
Family-owned, with over 10 years of local experience
Andy’s Pest Control is family-owned and operated, and we’ve worked across Katoomba and the Blue Mountains for more than a decade. That time on local properties means we know how older timber homes, sloping blocks and retaining walls tend to behave.
A termite barrier is only as good as the care taken on the day. We treat your home like it’s our own.

Fully licensed technicians you can have on your property
Every treatment is carried out by our licensed technicians, not a subcontractor you’ve never met. They explain what they’re doing as they go, so there are no surprises when you read the report.
Safe around children and pets, and on time
We use professional-grade products applied to targeted areas, and we’ll tell you before we start whether anything needs to stay off limits and for how long. We work between 6am and 9pm, seven days a week, so we can usually fit around school runs and work hours.
A DIY barrier rarely holds up, because incomplete coverage, incorrect mixing and wasted product leave gaps that termites find. Professional-grade formulations are not available to the public, so a shop-bought product starts at a disadvantage. Fixing a failed DIY barrier often costs more than a licensed job done properly the first time.
We make the professional route easy. The free inspection and $0 call-out fee mean you find out where you stand before spending anything. Pricing is fixed-value, with no hidden costs, and you pay only after the job is done.
Same-day service is available where the schedule allows, and quotes come back within 15 minutes across Katoomba, the Blue Mountains, Penrith and Sydney.
Chemical barriers usually have a shorter practical life than physical barriers, so periodic renewal keeps the treated zone continuous. The right timing depends on the product used, the soil and what we find at your inspection, so we won’t quote a one-size interval.
That depends on what the termite inspection shows. If the existing treated zone is mostly sound, we reapply where it has broken down, such as slab edges, piers and pipe entries. If large sections have been disturbed, we’ll explain why a fuller reapplication makes sense.
On slab-on-ground homes we treat accessible soil and slab edges, and drill at expansion joints and penetrations where needed. On raised timber homes we focus on soil around piers and entry zones. Both follow AS 3660.1.
Often, yes. We inspect first to find where the original treated zone still holds and where it doesn’t, then recommend work based on that evidence.
Baiting can suit properties with tight boundaries, extensive paving or complex slab design, where a continuous chemical zone is hard to achieve. We’ll tell you plainly if that’s your situation.
Regular assessments catch breaches early, and our technicians document treated zones so each visit builds on the last. Results can vary with the property and termite activity, so we don’t make absolute promises.
Book a free termite barrier inspection and we’ll check your existing treated zone, then recommend a top up based on what we find. You’ll get a fixed-value quote within 15 minutes, with a $0 call-out fee and our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
