Termites are a serious problem here in Australia and you need to protect the biggest investment you may ever make… your house.


Termite damage is estimated to cost around 1 billion dollars annually in Australia, which household insurance does not cover. Termites may already be in your home; in which case you have to act now before they cause severe structural damage that’s very expensive to repair. There are quite a few cases where homeowners have had to walk away from their homes because termite damage has been so extensive. Homeowners usually don’t know they’re there until substantial damage has been done.

Termite Barriers To The Rescue

Termites eat anything made from wood inside your home and may even damage electrical wiring and plasterboard walls, just leaving a paper-thin layer of paint. Unfortunately, by this time they are right through your home, no matter how your house is constructed. Even steel-framed houses are not immune to termite attacks. The termites can still get in and destroy wooden roof trusses, furniture and wood trim such as architraves… in fact, anything made of wood in the house. Quite simply, termites come to your home looking for food. They get there by travelling through the ground from a nest that may be a hundred metres away, and then they build mud tunnels into your house. They can squeeze through cracks the thickness of a piece of paper. A chemical barrier treats the soil around the perimeter of your house so if termites approach they cannot enter the structure due to the continuous barrier that has been installed around the building.

Termite Interception & Baiting Systems

Your EXTERRA termite interception and baiting system is there to protect you from the invasion of termites, continually.


EXTERRA stations are placed around your property to intercept termites. Once intercepted, REQUIEM™ termite bait is added to the large EXTERRA station. The termites feed on the REQUIEM™ and the colony is eliminated easily and quickly, right at the point of termite attack. The elite EXTERRA termite interception and baiting system, with its unique termite interception zone encircling your home is THE ONLY baiting system that creates a complete termite interception zone around your home. This complete and continuous zone is created by using our patented Focus Termite Attractant™ in each station so termites are intercepted before they reach your home.

EXTERRA Termite Barriers

EXTERRA is different. A truly safe, environmentally friendly way to eliminate termites, EXTERRA uses termites natural instincts against them, eliminating the attacking termite AND their whole colony. Even after the colony is eliminated, EXTERRA stations guard your home using the natural power of CO2, monitoring for future invasions without the ongoing need to reapply chemicals. By using EXTERRA, you are establishing a long-term, termite solution that's easy on both you and the environment.


This innovative, eco-friendly REQUIEM termite bait system uses a termite bait containing less than ¼ of a gram of an active ingredient – an ingredient which itself is less toxic than table salt! Rather than strong chemicals being sprayed around your home, EXTERRA uses REQUIEM termite bait in a closed and locked station, ensuring it’s kept securely away from your family, household pets and other animals. Lured by natural eucalypt timber interceptors – a termites’ preferred food source – the termites take the bait back to their nest, and the colony is eliminated.

TRITHOR Termite Protection

TRITHOR is a flexible termite management system that may be installed to perimeters, cold joints and in many difficult and complicated situations including multiple penetrations and step downs. TRITHOR is quickly installed and is completely concealed from view. The polymers used in TRITHOR are inedible to termites and, since TRITHOR also acts as a moisture barrier, it further reduces the attractiveness of a property to termites.


TRITHOR consists of a geotextile blanket impregnated with deltamethrin. Our unique Thermo-compression Technology™ then locks the deltamethrin into the blanket before it’s laminated top and bottom with a rugged plastic membrane. This complex entrapment process ensures that the deltamethrin remains trapped within the inner blanket. This means it’s non-hazardous to anyone handling the product or who comes into contact with it. The control agent in TRITHOR, deltamethrin, is an insecticide that is modelled on the natural pyrethrin produced by the chrysanthemum daisy, nature’s own cure for insect problems. Consequently, it’s low in toxicity to warm-blooded animals, though deadly to termites and other insects. Better yet, deltamethrin both kills and strongly deters termites.

Termidor

Termidor has delivered unparalleled termite control since it was first introduced onto the Australian market in 2002. Termidor provides fast elimination of termites and is a highly effective, long-term residual termite treatment that when applied by a professional pest technician can protect your house for many years.


Thanks to Termidor’s unique transfer effect, termites don’t even need to ingest or contact Termidor in order to die from it. All they need to do is make contact with another termite that has already contacted or ingested Termidor. This is because termites that come into contact with Termidor collect it on their bodies. They then become carriers that spread Termidor to other termites and eventually back to the nest. Termites are social insects that live together in large colonies and feed and groom each other. The transfer effect makes most of this and it’s a key reason why no other termiticide performs as well as Termidor.

Termite Barrier FAQs

  • What are common types of termite barriers?

    There are several common types of termite barriers, including chemical, physical and baiting systems. 


    Chemical barriers use chemicals, such as Termidor, to treat the soil around the perimeter of your property. The chemical barrier prevents termites from entering the structure and causing damage. 


    Products, such as TRITHOR and NOVITHOR, provide a physical barrier that termites cannot penetrate. These barriers can be installed during construction or retrofitted to existing structures. 


    Systems like EXTERRA use bait stations placed around your property to intercept and eliminate termites before they reach your home. The bait contains a toxin that termites take back to their colony, effectively eliminating the entire colony.

  • How do I know which type of termite barrier is right for me?

    The best termite barrier for your property depends on factors such as the age and construction of your home, the level of termite risk in your area and your budget. Our experienced technicians at Suncoast Termite & Pest can provide you with a free quote and advice on the most suitable termite barrier for your specific situation.

  • What are the benefits of a termite barrier?

    A termite barrier provides essential protection for your home or business against costly termite damage. It acts as a shield, preventing termites from entering your property and causing structural damage. This, in turn, protects your investment and provides peace of mind.

  • How does a termite barrier affect plants and animals?

    Our termite barrier solutions, such as the EXTERRA baiting system, are designed to be environmentally friendly and minimise any impact on plants and animals. The bait stations are closed and locked, ensuring the bait is kept away from non-target species. Moreover, the active ingredients in our termite barriers have low toxicity to animals while remaining effective against termites.

  • Does the location of my property make any difference when it comes to installing a termite barrier?

    The location of your property can influence the type of termite barrier best suited to your needs. Factors such as the climate, soil type and local termite species may affect the effectiveness of different termite barriers. Our experienced technicians will assess your property and recommend the most suitable termite barrier solution based on your unique circumstances.

  • How long does a termite barrier last?

    The lifespan of a termite barrier depends on the type of barrier installed and the environmental conditions. Chemical barriers generally have a life expectancy of several years, while physical barriers like TRITHOR and NOVITHOR can last much longer. Regular inspections and maintenance of your termite barrier are essential to ensure its ongoing effectiveness.

  • How often should I have my termite barrier inspected?

    It’s recommended that you have your termite barrier inspected at least once every 12 months. Regular inspections help to identify any potential issues early, ensuring the ongoing effectiveness of your termite barrier. Suncoast Termite & Pest can provide routine inspections and maintenance services to keep your termite barrier in optimal condition.

  • Can I install a termite barrier myself?

    While some DIY termite barriers are available, it’s strongly recommended that you use a professional pest control company like Suncoast Termite & Pest to install your termite barrier. Our experienced technicians have the knowledge and expertise to properly assess your property and recommend the most suitable termite barrier solution. Proper installation and ongoing maintenance are crucial to the effectiveness of your termite barrier, and using a professional service will help ensure the best protection for your property.
