What the Work Involves
A termite barrier is a continuous line of protection around your home. For a chemical barrier, our licensed technicians dig a trench around the perimeter and apply termiticide to the soil. Trench depth and width depend on the product and the property.
Every crack, joint and penetration point then has to be sealed, and the whole job is done to Australian Standard AS 3660.1.
Where DIY Goes Wrong
A barrier only works if it has no gaps. Common DIY problems include:
- Incomplete coverage that leaves entry points open
- Chemicals mixed incorrectly
- Structural damage from poor trenching or installation
- Wasted materials that need redoing
Fixing a failed DIY barrier often costs more than having it installed properly the first time.
Why Local Knowledge Matters
Soil conditions, moisture patterns and building design vary across Parramatta and Greater Sydney. As a family-owned and operated team, we tailor each barrier to the property in front of us, and our warranties and ongoing monitoring are things a DIY job cannot offer.
