Termite Barriers

A termite barrier is your first line of defence against a hidden threat. Termites can cause serious damage before you even notice them—but the right barrier system can stop them in their tracks.

Why Termite Barriers Matter

At Reaper Pest Management, we offer physical and chemical termite barrier systems that comply with Australian Standards and provide years of reliable protection. Whether you’re building a new home or safeguarding an existing one, we’ll help you choose the best option to suit your needs, budget, and property layout.

In South East Queensland, termites are a constant risk. Even properties with no prior infestations are vulnerable due to climate, soil conditions, and nearby vegetation.

Termite barriers act as a protective shield between the soil (where termites live) and your building (what they want to eat). These systems either repel, kill, or physically block termites from reaching the timber in your structure.

Without a barrier, even regular inspections may not be enough. Barriers are designed to stop termites before they enter, giving you added security and confidence.

What Type of Termite Barrier Is Right for You?

We provide solutions for both new builds and existing structures. Every property is different, which is why we offer a range of barrier systems tailored to suit:

Chemical Termite Barriers

Chemical barriers involve applying a liquid termiticide to the soil surrounding your property. This creates an invisible treated zone that repels or kills termites before they reach your structure.

We use only industry-approved products that are safe for your family, pets, and the environment. Popular brands include Termidor and Biflex, known for their long-lasting results.

Ideal for:

  • Existing homes
  • Homes with slab-on-ground foundations
  • High-risk zones with prior termite activity

Physical Termite Barriers

These are installed during construction and are made from tough, termite-resistant materials. They form a continuous seal around slab edges, penetrations, and joints—forcing termites out into visible areas where they can be detected and treated.

Types include stainless steel mesh, graded stone, and polymer sheeting (like Kordon® and HomeGuard®).

Ideal for:

  • New builds
  • Renovations and extensions
  • Homes where long-term prevention is the priority

Reticulation Systems

These are flexible underground systems made of durable piping installed around the base of your home. They allow termite treatments to be re-applied into the soil barrier without digging, making long-term protection easier and more consistent.

Systems include brands like Camilleri Reticulation and Altis, known for reliability and coverage.

Ideal for: 

  • Long-term maintenance plans
  • Properties requiring ongoing barrier replenishment
  • Homes with complex or landscaped surrounds
