About this service

Professional termite control for Sutherland Shire homes and businesses

A termite reticulation system is a network of perforated delivery pipes installed in the soil around the perimeter of a building — and under the slab — during construction. Once landscaping is complete, the system is connected to a service riser (usually hidden in the meter box area). When the chemical barrier needs to be replenished, termiticide is pumped through the pipes and distributed evenly through the soil. No trenching, no drilling, no garden disruption.

Reticulation is the recommended approach for any new build, slab extension, granny flat or major renovation in the Sutherland Shire. It’s also required by many builders to meet AS 3660.1 (Termite Management — New Building Work). The upfront cost is modest compared to a future retreatment — and the system can be topped up every 3–8 years for the life of the building.

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 control 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.

Our process

How we deliver termite control in the
Sutherland Shire

A licensed-technician process built around your property, your schedule, and the specific
pest pressure we see across the Shire.

01

Review the build

We look at slab edges, penetrations, landscaping and the termite management method in place.

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.

We install reticulation using Reticulated Soil System (RSS) compliant fittings, with refill points accessible from outside, full as-built diagrams handed to the owner, and a durable notice in the meter box. The system pairs perfectly with Termidor HE — when refill time comes, a single technician can recharge the entire barrier in under two hours.

If you’re building a new home in Sandy Point, Illawong, Woronora, Engadine or anywhere along the bush-fringe of the Shire, talk to us before the slab is poured. Retrofitting reticulation after construction is possible but more expensive than installing it during the build. Call (02) 9543 0093 for new-build advice.

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.
