Ready Set Spray's Chemical Soil Termite Barrier
A chemical soil barrier is the long-term answer to subterranean termites. We trench and treat the soil against your home's footings, then drill and inject through any concrete paths, patios or driveways that sit against the building, so the treated soil forms one unbroken ring around the structure.
The termiticides we use are non-repellent — termites can't detect them, so they walk straight through the treated zone, pick up the active ingredient and carry it back into the colony where it transfers between nestmates. That's what makes a modern barrier far more effective than the repellent chemistry it replaced.
A barrier is the right choice when you want protection that lasts after an active infestation has been treated, when your property sits under high termite pressure (bushland edges, established gum trees, previous activity nearby), or when you need a documented, AS 3660 compliant termite management system for your home.
How the Barrier Works
Trench & Treat
We excavate a narrow trench against the footings and treat the soil as it's backfilled, so the termiticide sits exactly where termites travel — up against the building, not spread thinly over the surface.
Drill & Inject
Where paths, patios, driveways or slabs abut the house, we drill small holes at set intervals and inject termiticide into the soil beneath, then patch the holes so the treated zone stays continuous under the concrete.
Non-Repellent Transfer
Termites can't smell or avoid the treatment. They pass through it, pick it up and transfer it to nestmates through grooming and feeding, so the effect reaches back into the colony rather than just the individuals at your wall.
Continuous Treated Zone
Trenched soil and injected concrete areas join into one unbroken ring around the structure. There's no gap to exploit — any termite approaching from the soil has to cross treated ground to reach your timbers.
