About this service

About termite reticulation barrier

A reticulation system installs a network of pipes around the building during construction that let us replenish the chemical barrier in future — without drilling, digging or disturbing the home.

It's the smart long-term choice: protection that lasts for decades thanks to simple, scheduled top-ups instead of disruptive re-treatments.

Termite Reticulation Barrier
Why it matters

Why protect the build

New builds attract termites

Fresh timber, disturbed soil and building moisture make a site prime termite territory from day one.

Rarely insured

Termite damage is almost never covered by home insurance — the barrier is the protection.

Required for approval

A compliant termite management system is a building-code requirement for new work in NSW.

Cheapest at build stage

Installing protection during construction costs a fraction of retrofitting it later.

Key features

Why choose this barrier

Replenishable

The barrier can be recharged through the pipe network when needed.

No re-drilling

Future top-ups don't disturb paths, gardens or the slab.

Decades of protection

Maintained correctly, the system protects for the life of the home.

Low disruption

Installed once during the build, topped up with ease.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

How is a reticulation barrier refilled?

Termiticide is pumped through the installed pipe network from accessible fill points — so it's replenished over the years without drilling or disturbing your floors and landscaping.

How long does it protect for?

The pipe system lasts for decades; the termiticide inside is topped up periodically to keep the treated zone active.

Is it disruptive to install?

No — it's laid during construction under the slab and around the perimeter, then quietly does its job with low disruption afterwards.
