About this service
Professional termite protection for Sutherland Shire homes and businesses
Under the Building Code of Australia, every new dwelling in NSW (with limited exceptions) must have a termite management system installed and certified to AS 3660.1. This protects the structure from the day the slab is poured.
Pre-construction options include: physical barriers like Kordon or Termguard bonded to the slab perimeter, reticulated chemical systems with refillable injection lines under the slab, full-perimeter chemical treatment of the soil before slab pour, and stainless-steel mesh barriers (Termimesh) at penetrations.

Signs of a problem
Why new builds still need termite planning
- Landscaping, paths or garden beds are bridging slab edges or inspection zones
- The home sits in a known bushland or termite-pressure suburb
- You are unsure what termite system was installed at construction stage
- You want a compliant long-term inspection and maintenance plan after handover
What's included
Every termite protection visit includes
Review of termite management details relevant to the finished build
Advice on barrier continuity, inspection zones and landscaping risks
Recommendations for ongoing inspections and optional monitoring systems
Clear explanation of maintenance responsibilities after the build is complete
The real cost of doing nothing
A new slab and recent construction do not make a property termite-proof. Once landscaping, mulch, paving or stored timber bridge inspection zones, the risk can increase quickly if nobody is checking the site.
Backed by our written service guarantee
We show up on time, explain the treatment clearly, and back our work with written advice and follow-up recommendations. If you need the next step after an inspection or treatment, you'll know exactly what to do.

How we deliver termite protection in the Sutherland Shire
A licensed-technician process built around your property, your schedule, and the specific pest pressure we see across the Shire.
02
Check for bridges
We identify where gardens, soil, paving or stored materials may compromise the intended protection system.
03
Set the schedule
You get a practical inspection and maintenance plan so the protection remains effective long after handover.
Our approach
We take time to understand your property
No two homes, tenancies or commercial sites are the same. Every job gets a tailored plan based on access points, pest pressure, risk level and the outcome you actually need.
For renovations and additions, the new section must be protected to the same standard as the existing dwelling — usually by extending the existing treatment, installing a reticulated system in the new footprint, or installing a perimeter Termidor HE barrier on completion.
We work directly with builders across Cronulla, Miranda, Sutherland, Caringbah and Bangor on pre-construction protection. Every job is documented with photos at each stage, a final certificate of installation and the durable notice required for the meter box.
On-site assessment
A licensed technician checks the infestation pattern, risk points, conducive conditions and any safety requirements for kids, pets or staff.
Fixed-price plan
We explain the target pest, affected areas, products or monitoring involved, expected results and next steps before work begins.
Treatment & follow-up
You get practical preparation advice, a clear treatment summary and a follow-up recommendation to reduce reinfestation risk.

Why local matters
Sutherland Shire technicians who know the local pest pressure
Call (02) 9543 0093 well before slab day — late notice means delays. We can also audit your builder's proposed system before contracts are signed to make sure you're getting genuine, code-compliant protection.
Local conditions we plan around
- Coastal humidity driving cockroach, silverfish and mould-related pest issues
- Bush-fringe termite pressure around Menai, Bangor, Illawong, Engadine and Heathcote
- Rodent movement from creek lines, food businesses, roof voids and dense garden cover
- Spider activity after rain and in shaded, sheltered outdoor areas
- Multi-unit properties where pests travel between shared walls, ceilings and service penetrations

Termite Protection questions, answered
Do new homes still need annual termite inspections?+
Yes. Even brand-new homes should be inspected regularly because termite risk continues after construction.
Can landscaping affect the termite barrier?+
Absolutely. Soil, mulch, paths and garden beds can bridge inspection zones or reduce visibility around slab edges.
Is the builder responsible forever?+
No. After handover, ongoing inspection and maintenance become the owner's responsibility.
