Keep in mind that termite barriers are a preventative measure. If you have an ongoing infestation, other termite control measures are essential. Rely on Masters Pest Control Sydney to comprehensively tackle these destructive pests with effective termite management systems.

WHY TO CHOOSE US
Why You Should Consider a Termite Barrier in Your Home
Here are some key reasons you should consider implementing a termite barrier in your home:
Cost
The cost of implementing a termite barrier is minimal compared to the costs you may incur after a full-blown infestation. In addition to the costs of treatment, the structural damage that termites can cause could set you back tens of thousands.
Property resale value
Planning to sell your home or commercial property one day? Termite damage can take a massive chunk out of the value of your property. With a termite barrier, you can save yourself needing to worry about this damage occurring.
Legal considerations
A termite risk management solution like a chemical barrier is a legal requirement in NSW for new homes and certain renovations. If you’re a commercial property owner, you should also consider your legal liability if termites cause structural damage.
Valuables
Termites don’t just love wood. They’ll also happily chew through beloved family photographs or wooden furniture, too. Termite barriers help keep the contents of your home safe.
Health and safety
Damage to the structural integrity of your home can pose a significant risk to your loved ones in the event of a collapse.
TYPES
Types of Termites in Sydney
Here’s what you need to know when it comes to preventing infestations from common termite species in Sydney:
Subterranean Termites
Subterranean termites are the most destructive termites in Sydney, with the potential to wreak havoc on your property. They have long, thin, oval-shaped bodies.
These termites burrow under the soil, often making their way into your home through cracks in your foundation. From there, these creatures can cause tremendous damage to your property.
Subterranean termites can have over 1 million members in a single colony. Since they live underground and destroy wood from the inside out, it’s easy for them to cause immense damage to your property before you notice them.
With an effective termite barrier, you can prevent infestations before they begin, allowing you to breathe easy knowing your property is protected.
Other Species of Termites
Other types of termites you might encounter in Sydney are less susceptible to chemical barriers, as they generally don’t live or travel through soil. Different preventative measures are required to keep these critters at bay.
If you’re concerned about the potential presence of any termite species in your home, including drywood or dampwood termites, book a termite inspection today. We’ll let you know if these pests are causing problems on your property, and give you advice on keeping them away for the long term.
How Do Termites Breed?
Termites can breed extremely quickly, making infestations significantly worse in a short time period. As weather begins to warm, often in spring, a “mature” subterranean termite colony produces flying termites called alates.
These termites swarm the skies and pair up, becoming the king and queen of a brand new colony. The queen soon begins laying eggs in her new colony. As she matures, she can start laying thousands of eggs, every day, for up to 30 years.
It can take several years for a subterranean termite colony to mature and cause noticeable damage in your home. Once they do, they can quickly begin causing significant problems. That’s why preventing termites from entering your property using termite barriers is so important.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
How can you prevent a termite infestation?
Chemical barriers aren't the only way you can avoid termites running rampant on your property. Some other important steps you can take to prevent termites from infesting your home include:
- Preventing moisture: Termites thrive in moist environments. Get leaky pipes, drains or air conditioners fixed quickly.
- Clear wood on your property: Having wood around your home is a great way to attract termites. Clear decaying stumps and keep your trees trimmed.
- Avoid cardboard: As cardboard is made of wood, it’s another favourite food for termites. Avoid bringing cardboard into your home or commercial property. Use plastic storage boxes instead.
- Termite inspections: It's a great idea to schedule an annual termite inspection to ensure these critters aren't silently lurking on your property. A qualified technician from Masters Pest Control Sydney will examine your property and let you know if a termite infestation is unfolding, and what you should do about it.
What’s the difference between a chemical termite barrier and a physical termite barrier?
Chemical termite barriers use strategically placed treatments to ward off termites. Physical termite barriers involve protecting your home with walls made of stainless steel mesh or other similar materials.
Physical or chemical barriers can be effectively used to protect your home from termites. Chemical barriers have a few advantages over physical barriers. These include:
- Chemical barriers are more easily implemented on an existing property.
- Chemical barriers can actually kill termites rather than simply blocking access.
- Physical barriers generally have a higher upfront cost than chemical ones.
Another type of barrier is a termite reticulation system. This involves a system of pipes being installed underneath a home and regularly filled with termiticide.
Do termite barriers really work?
Yes, termite protection barriers are known to help significantly reduce the risks posed by termite infestations. They're a major part of termite risk management systems, which are legally required in NSW for new homes and certain renovations.
Rely on our residential pest control services to get the job done right.
How much does a termite barrier cost in Sydney?
The price of termite barriers in Sydney can vary significantly based on a number of factors. Chemical barriers generally have a lower upfront cost than physical ones. The size of a property and its other unique characteristics also impact how much you'll pay for a barrier.
Give Masters Pest Control Sydney a call on (02) 8007 4666 to request a quote on a termite barrier. Our quotes are fully transparent and let you know how much you’ll pay before work begins.
When should termite barriers be installed?
Termite barriers can be implemented at a range of different time periods. They can be used as termite risk management systems, which are legally required in NSW for new homes and certain renovations.
They can also be implemented in existing properties. Many people want to install a termite barrier after they have experienced an infestation to prevent future reoccurrences.
Even if you haven't had a recent infestation, installing a termite barrier can be a smart way to protect your home from termites in the future.
Are termite barriers safe for pets and children?
Yes, many termite barriers create an effective protective barrier while also being completely safe for pets and children. If you have any concerns, make sure you speak with the technician installing your termite barrier to understand any precautions that might be required.
Our termite barrier treatments are certified safe for children, pets, and the environment when applied by our licensed technicians.
What should you do if you have a termite infestation?
If you notice a termite infestation in your home, you should contact professional pest controllers immediately. Call Masters Pest Control Sydney (02) 8007 4666 and we'll get back to you within the day.
We'll conduct a termite inspection to understand the depths of the issue in your home and implement a termite treatment plan to stamp it out. Our team will also provide long-term guidance to help you protect your property for years to come.
Are termites more active in summer?
Termites do tend to be more active in warmer weather. Spring and summer tend to be the time of year when termites breed and create new colonies.
However, you should still be alert to termite activity in winter months. Termites can still enter your property and cause massive damage during winter. Year-round vigilance through measures like annual inspections is crucial for keeping your home safe from termites.
