General Instructions:

Chemical treatment for termite control around existing buildings should be considered to be part of an integrated approach to reduce the risk of termite attack.  The steps below best describe the procedure for optimum termite management.

• The building owner should try to minimise water entering under and around the building and improve drainage to reduce moisture accumulating in these areas.
• Ventilation of subfloor areas should also be optimised to reduce moisture accumulation.
• The area under the floor should be kept free from any debris-timber such as off-cuts of wood or firewood.
• Treat with a residual chemical zone treatment such as Surefire in compliance with AS3660.2
• Regular inspections should be carried out (at least annually as recommended by AS3660 Series)
• If any additional subsequent building or landscaping work causes disruption to the chemical soil treated zone it must be restored to maintain protection.
