The Building Code of Australia states that if foremost building essentials in new house construction work (including extensions) are susceptible to termite attack, protective measures must be taken. AS3660.1 and AS3660.2 offers a mixture of physical and chemical treatment systems found to meet BCA requirements. These termite management systems are installed to stop and/or reduce the chance of termites getting into the dwelling through a hidden path.

FACTORY WAREHOUSE - Traditional liquid treatments applied to the soil form an uninterrupted chemical barrier in the soil around both sides of the groundwork to all factories and warehouses, with the soil around the piers that will help the floor system be also protected. This barrier should prevent forage termites from touching the foundation and, ultimately, the wood structures. It ought to be noted that only the soil adjacent to this footing structure is treated.

STEEL FRAMES - A steel frame is tough to termite attack, and a house built with a steel frame without a termite barrier is a moderately safe choice for any builder. We do nevertheless see many unprotected, steel-framed houses with termite infestations across. All of which have resulting tens of thousands of dollars in damages to the non-structural timber structure of the home. Further often afterward, it's the invasion in steel homes that go unseen for long periods simply because the homeowners believe that termites are just not going to be interested in their steel-framed homes.

STEEL FRAME PROBLEMS - Although termites are not keen in your steel frame, they aren't fussy. They will eat around a steel frame to get to any procure of natural component they can find. This natural structure that are so appealing to termites are made up of skirting boards, in-house walls, built-in joinery, bath & shower voids, wardrobes, floorboard materials and furnishing. All of whichever are bountiful in new homes and perfect for a starved termite colony looking to set up sub nests and colonies under the ordinary steel frame home.

TERMITE PROTECTION - Rapid specialises in pre-construction termites for new home protection for existing, roof trusses, renovated, townhouse, or single homes. However, if you’re building a new home, or you want to put a barrier on a house extension, the supply of a certificate for part a or part b (3660.1) will comply with Australian Standards. Part A is the most common termite protection, and It’s put around all penetration pipe collars, and electrical conduit before the concrete slab is completed. Part b is when the slab has been done, which can be a chemical perimeter barrier/reticulation system/termite blanket / these all can be installed, just depends on what stage of the construction you have arranged a termite company.

TERMITE TREATMENT - Termite treatments (3660.2) using chemicals is called chemical soil treatment and drill injection. This treatment involves laying a barrier through the soil with a chemical called Termidor Fipronil. The treated soil is pointed as a chemical treatment. Termites are controlled when they move through the soil and tunnel into the treated area. Termite treatments are very effective when your home is under attack from live termites.

TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION - Termite protection As3660.1 certificate of compliance is required for any building permit that has been issued for a new home or existing house construction for a concrete slab, brick piers, roof trusses, new extension decking, or new concrete stumps.

Part A will be applied as a barrier before the slab has been completed or in a “pre-slab” phase of the build.

Part B, additional chemical and/or physical products can be used around the perimeter of the home at different stages of the construction.
