So my builder contacted me today to say the Australian standards had changed re termite protection I have no idea about termites or what I should do these were my options
Option 1) FRONT OF BUILDING ONLY $150
Where the builder is providing a front driveway/garage ramp and entrance pathway a Termguard Re-Treatment System will be required to be installed underneath the concreted areas. To ensure that none of these areas are missed, the Termgaurd system will be installed across the entire front of the building including any freestanding brick piers on concrete pads. If the piers are on the front porch slab (part of the house slab) then the re-treatment system around the slab edge will protect the pier. We will provide Re-treatment system to the front of the dwelling only in lieu of standard Part B treatment system. This system would require retreatment every 2 years to the front of the dwelling in the form of a chemical top up to the reticulated refill points and a retreatment of the remaining permitter every 12months in the form of a chemical hand spray to the permitter of your slab.
Option 2) AROUND PERIMETER OF BUILDING – BUILDERS PREFERED CHOICE $680
Should you choose this option Simonds will provide a reticulated perimeter termite protection treatment in lieu of hand spray perimeter termite protection. This is our preferred system with a reticulated refillable termite supply around the entire perimeter of the home and will look the same as the picture below. This system only requires re-treatment every 2 years in the form of a chemical top up to the reticulated refill points
