LOCAL COVERAGE
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers in Picnic Point
What we cover in Picnic Point, and how quickly we can get there.
Postcode 2213 covers Picnic Point and the streets immediately around it. At about 21.8 km south-west of the CBD it falls in the Canterbury-Bankstown, where we have vans out daily. We run Picnic Point on a regular route, and same-day attendance is usually available.
A lot of our Picnic Point jobs are in the streets around Phillip Park and Bruce Park, and we are out near Georges River National Park regularly enough that the technician usually knows the access before they arrive.
We work under the Canterbury-Bankstown area here, and Revesby Heights, Panania and East Hills are all on the same route, which matters when termite problems are moving between adjoining properties. Most of the housing here shares a wall, a roof void or a sub-floor with something else, so we check what adjoins the property rather than treating it in isolation.
What we see in Picnic Point is terraces and semis where the problem has come through a shared wall. Describing it accurately when you book saves a second visit.
Beyond that we are regularly around Revesby Village Centre, and out as far as Panania station. If you are anywhere in 2213, you are inside the area we run.
The 2213 run is set the day before and you are given an arrival time. Where Revesby Heights and Panania fall on the same round, we can usually bring the visit forward.

OVERVIEW
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Done Right the First Time
Most Picnic Point builds are waffle pod or raft, and the two are detailed differently at the edge. Tell us which it is when you send the plans and the quote will be right first time.
The failures we are called to inspect are rarely the product. They are a collar missed on a late-added pipe, a perimeter left short at a step-down, or a membrane torn by a trade after we left and never reported.
We photograph each penetration as it is treated, so there is a record of what was done rather than an assurance.
- Fixed quote from your plans
- Installation staged around your build program
- Physical, chemical, or the two combined
- A durable notice and certificate supplied for the certifier
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Termite Barrier Systems We Install in Picnic Point
Photos from our own Sydney installations, not stock images. We recommend the right mix for your slab design, site and budget.
Full Under-Slab Membrane
A sheet membrane that termites cannot pass, laid across the prepared ground before the pour so the entire footprint is covered.
Penetration Collars
Each pipe, conduit and service crossing the slab is sealed with a collar - penetrations being the most common concealed entry.
Perimeter & Slab Edge Barrier
A barrier around the slab edge and into the wall cavity prevents termites tunnelling unseen up the slab's outer face.
Chemical Soil Barrier & Reticulation
A soil-applied APVMA-registered termiticide, with the option of reticulation pipework allowing recharge later without excavation.
Suspended Floors & Piers
Protection for the piers, bearers and suspended timber flooring on elevated or sloping sites.
Retaining Walls & Complex Sites
Specific detailing where there are retaining walls, sandstone excavation, step-downs or cut-and-fill, as is common across Sydney.
WHY DURING THE BUILD
Why Install During Construction in Picnic Point
Once the slab is poured, the areas termites use most are sealed away for good.
A Fraction of the Cost
Installing at construction costs a fraction of retrofitting a system, let alone repairing termite damage later.
Required by the NCC
The NCC requires a compliant system on Class 1 dwellings and Class 10 outbuildings where primary building elements are termite-susceptible.
Hidden Entry Points Sealed
Once concrete covers them, pipe penetrations and slab joints cannot be fully protected - it has to happen before the pour.
Whole-Footprint Protection
Under-slab protection reaches areas that post-construction treatment simply cannot.
No Occupation Certificate Delays
The certifier needs the installation certificate and the durable notice in hand to issue the Occupation Certificate.
Resale Confidence
Buyers, inspectors and lenders all respond to documented, compliant termite protection.

COMPARE SYSTEMS
Physical vs Chemical Termite Barriers in Picnic Point
Both approaches can comply with AS 3660.1. Many Sydney builds use a combination.
| System | How it works | Durability & upkeep | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical membrane, mesh or graded stone | Sheet, stainless mesh or graded stone creating a layer termites cannot chew through, under the slab or at the perimeter | As durable as the slab itself when left undisturbed, with no top-ups needed | Slab-on-ground homes and non-chemical preferences |
| Penetration collars | Each pipe and conduit through the slab is sealed with a physical collar | Long-lasting, assuming correct installation before the pour | Every slab, usually in combination with a perimeter system |
| Chemical soil barrier | Termiticide creating a treated zone in the soil beneath and around the building | Service life is set by the product label and the soil, and it can be re-applied | Builds working to a budget, and some complex sites |
| Reticulation system | A pipe network installed ahead of paving, allowing the soil to be re-treated by pumping | Can be topped up throughout the building's life without digging up paving | Homes surrounded by paving or heavy landscaping |
| Baiting (post-construction) | Monitoring stations set into the ground, baited to eliminate the colony | Regular servicing of the stations is needed | For existing homes, see termite control |
INSTALLATION STAGES
How a Pre-Construction Barrier Is Installed in Picnic Point
Termite barriers are installed in stages that follow the build, not in a single visit.
01
Plan Review & Fixed Quote
We work from your drawings and slab details, specify a system, and fix the price stage by stage before anything is booked.
02
Stage 1: Before the Pour
Service penetrations collared, and the under-slab membrane or chemical treatment installed once site preparation is done.
03
Stage 2: Slab Edge & Cavity
Barriers to the perimeter and cavity go in alongside the brickwork or cladding, eliminating any slab-edge gap.
04
Stage 3: Final Perimeter
A specified chemical perimeter or reticulation is completed around the finished building, ahead of the paving and the landscaping.
05
Durable Notice & Certificate
The system is documented on a durable notice in the meter box, and the installation certificate goes to builder and certifier.
06
Handover Advice
The owner receives maintenance advice and a recommended inspection schedule to keep the system effective.

FOR BUILDERS
For Builders, Developers & Owner-Builders
Coordinating with your trades
Scheduling works around the plumber's set-out and the concreter's pour. Let us know when services are in and we confirm collar installation ahead of the pour inspection.
- Penetration collars before the pour
- The slab edge and cavity barrier installed as the walls rise
- The perimeter is completed prior to paving
Multi-unit and repeat work
Consistent pricing across the project, a single point of contact, and documentation for every lot or dwelling.
Avoiding certification delays
Occupation certificate delays usually trace to a missing durable notice or poor records. We give the certifier the full set in one go.
AFTER HANDOVER
How to Keep Your Termite Barrier Effective in Picnic Point
A barrier only works if it stays intact and visible. Homeowners should follow these points for the life of the building.
- At least 75 mm of slab edge has to stay exposed for inspection. Don't bury it under soil, mulch or paving.
- Don't put garden beds or stacked timber up against the house
- Keep weep holes free of render and any debris
- Repair leaking taps, downpipes and hot water units near the building
- Before the slab gets drilled, speak to your builder or installer
- Check that new pipework and any extension is protected as well
- Timber pest inspections at least every 12 months
- Keep the durable notice and installation certificate with your property papers
PRICING FACTORS
What Affects the Cost of a Termite Barrier in Picnic Point
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Slab size and perimeter run | Larger slabs need more membrane and perimeter protection, and more labour |
| The system specified | Under-slab physical systems, perimeter-only systems and chemical or reticulation options carry different prices |
| Number of penetrations | A collar is needed for each plumbing and electrical penetration through the slab |
| How complex the site is | Retaining walls, step-downs, sandstone excavation and suspended floors all add detailing |
| How many visits | Installations are staged to the build program, and multi-dwelling sites can be combined |

SYDNEY NEW BUILDS
Termite Protection for Sydney New Builds in Picnic Point
Estates built on cleared farmland inherit the colonies already living in that soil. A new Picnic Point house is not a fresh start from a termite point of view - it is a new food source on an established site.
Reactive soil is the argument for a system that tolerates movement rather than a rigid one. We choose based on the soil report for the Picnic Point site, not on a default.
Attached garages, pergolas, alfresco slabs and later additions all need to be in the system. On Picnic Point builds the alfresco slab poured separately is the one most often left out.

FAQ
Pre-Construction Termite Barriers Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before you book. Still unsure? Call us — we're happy to help.
Get a Free QuoteWhat does pre-construction termite barriers cost in Picnic Point?
Barriers are quoted off your plans and slab details. There is no call-out charge in Picnic Point 2213. The final number comes down to the property itself, and it is fixed before we begin. You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box.
How soon can someone come out to Picnic Point?
Same-day attendance is usually available. Picnic Point is about 21.8 km south-west of the CBD in the Canterbury-Bankstown, and we give you a firm arrival time rather than an all-day window.
Why are termites such a problem in Picnic Point?
These houses were built joined together, and they have aged that way. Party walls, continuous roof voids and shared drainage give termites a route your front door has no bearing on.
What sort of properties do you treat in Picnic Point?
Joined older housing, often with a paved rear courtyard holding damp against the wall. Both things shape the treatment.
Do you work with agents and strata managers in Picnic Point?
Yes. Houses, townhouses, units, strata common property, rentals and commercial sites in Picnic Point 2213 are all part of what we do, and the paperwork is the kind agents accept.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes, with the usual care. Everything is APVMA-registered and used to label, and we will work around pets, aquariums and anyone in the house with a respiratory condition if you tell us when you book.
Do I need to leave the property during treatment?
In most cases you can stay. Where an area does need to be left clear it is for a couple of hours at most, and we say so before we start.
How long will the technician be on site?
Allow an hour to two hours for most properties. A bigger building, or one where the problem has spread, takes longer - and we would rather tell you that when quoting than rush it.
What if the termites come back?
You get the AS 3660.1 certificate and the durable notice for the meter box. Ring us if activity picks up again inside that period and we will arrange the return.
Is Picnic Point inside your service area?
We cover the whole of Picnic Point, from the streets around Revesby Village Centre out to the suburb boundary and on into Revesby Heights.
