We have upgraded to a reticulation system in lieu of the spray with PD. It will cost us around $750. I thought that wasn't too bad. I know it's too late for you guys, hysterical and Bel, but thought it might be of interest to other PD customers.

Just remember Termite Barriers are just that Barriers - they don't stop termites, they are just designed to prevent concealed entry. Termite barriers are only as good as the installation so if you don't get an installation warranty its not worth having. Do your due diligence and find out about what the warranty actually covers and under what conditions. A great warranty also is no help if the pest control company goes out of business so stay with a respected company with a proven history. Also take into account where you live as QLD for example starts in a high risk area given its climate (warm and humid). At the end of the day your termite barrier is gonna cost about 3% of your total building cost which in my opinion is cheap insurance anyway. The Australian Standard recommends (regardless of your termite barrier installed) that you get regular (12 monthly) inspections by a licenced pest contoller - this is a good idea - hey even do some basic things yourself to reduce your risk like looking around the house for visual signs on the outside (mud tubes going up your wall) - I look around every time I mow my lawn, keep garden beds away home the house to keep soil "creeping" up the wall, don't have leaky taps dripping around your footings. Just my 2 cents. Hi, I had a barrier reef pool installed less that 2 years ago and the gel coat is already fading.
