When building a new home in Melbourne, termite protection isn’t optional. It is essential. Termites are silent but destructive, causing significant structural damage that often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. Without pre-construction termite protection, your new home build may be left vulnerable to expensive repairs, legal disputes, and even voided warranties.
Termites don’t wait. They can access untreated homes through slab penetrations, expansion joints, and hidden entry points especially in high-risk zones like Melbourne’s northern and western suburbs. Worse, termite damage usually isn’t covered by standard home insurance policies. That’s why the Building Code of Australia mandates compliance with AS 3660.1 and AS 3660.2 for physical and chemical termite management systems during and after construction.
Epic Pest Solutions provides both Part A (installed during slab stage) and Part B (final perimeter treatment) with full builder certification. Whether you’re a volume builder or an owner-builder, we help you meet compliance, protect property value, and avoid costly rework.
At Epic Pest Solutions, we install certified Part A termite protection systems for residential and commercial builds across Melbourne’s north and western suburbs. We work closely with site supervisors, builders, and owner-builders to install compliant systems during key construction stages typically before the slab is poured or prior to infill.
We inspect building plans and soil conditions to assess termite risk, determine treatment zones, and apply a protection system that meets AS 3660.1 and council regulations.
Termite collars are applied under the concrete slab to form a protective barrier, ensuring your building complies with AS 3660.1 from the ground up.
We install high-quality physical barriers, and advanced reticulation systems for long-lasting protection. These solutions allow for easy reapplication of termiticides, saving time in future maintenance.
Our high-quality penetration seals are applied around vulnerable areas, such as plumbing and electrical conduits, to prevent termites from entering through these critical points.
We liaise directly with your site supervisor to coordinate treatment timing, issue the required AS 3660.1 compliance certificate, and ensure smooth site handover with zero delays.
We conduct annual termite inspections using thermal imaging, moisture meters, and visual checks to monitor barriers, detect early activity, and ensure protection & compliance.
Once construction is complete, your property still needs a certified post-construction termite barrier to remain fully compliant and protected. Termite Protection Part B ensures your new build meets AS3660.2 standards and provides long-term defence against termite infestation. This final treatment stage is essential before handover or occupancy.
Our termite protection specialists work with builders, developers, and homeowners to deliver reliable termite protection designed to Melbourne conditions.
We apply termiticides around the foundation and structure via reticulation system, providing long-lasting termite protection. These solutions allow easy re-application of termicide in future.
We refill your reticulation system or perform drill-and-inject treatments into paths, patios, and concrete zones for full perimeter coverage around the completed structure.
We can perform ongoing regular termite inspection to detect potential termite activity early, allowing for immediate action to prevent infestations.
Delivering high-quality termite protection reflects your commitment to superior construction. When you partner with Epic Pest Solutions, you ensure every build meets standards and exceeds client expectations.
Make life easy by choosing us for both Part A & Part B termite protection. We handle everything, ensuring full compliance and long-term termite defence for your project.
Compliance with AS 3660.1 and AS 3660.2 ensures your project avoids costly delays & penalties. Partnering with Epic Pest Solutions means your termite protection is expertly managed.
Termite damage can result in expensive warranty claims after a project is completed. Effective termite protection reduces future risks and avoids disputes with homeowners.
Termite pre-construction treatment involves applying a chemical barrier or installing a physical system during early construction stages to protect the building from termites. At Epic Pest Solutions, we provide Part A and Part B protection to ensure your new home or commercial property meets Australian Standards (AS 3660.1) for long-term termite protection and defence.
You should book termite protection before slab pour (Part A) and again after construction is complete (Part B). Delays can compromise compliance and reduce the treatment’s effectiveness. We recommend contacting Epic Pest Solutions early in your construction planning to coordinate both stages properly with your builder or project manager.
Yes. The National Construction Code (NCC) mandates termite protection for all new buildings in designated risk zones which includes most parts of Melbourne. Epic Pest Solutions ensures your property meets AS 3660.1 compliance with full documentation for council and builder records.
We offer a full range of chemical barriers, reticulation systems, and physical termite management systems, suited to both slab-on-ground and raised-floor construction.
Yes. Termites often nest at the base of live trees and tunnel through soil to reach nearby homes. In some cases, termites travel via mud tubes built down the trunk, making their way silently to your property. If you notice infested, dead, or hollow-sounding trees near your house, act promptly. You can remove the tree, or call a tree lopping company or a qualified arborist to eliminate the termite colony’s access and reduce the risk to your home.
