A termite reticulation system is a network of underground plumbing surrounding a house. Its goal is to give continual protection against termites. The pros, of course, are that it may be refreshed with a termiticide regularly using specialised equipment and pumps.

There are numerous reticulation systems on the market, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that if they have direct access to the property’s perimeter (direct access to the earth), they may be quickly refreshed without having to drill through concrete.

Termite reticulation systems can be installed in a new home or a property undergoing renovations, such as an extension. Reticulation systems are frequently required for homeowners who want to construct a granny flat or add an extra room to their home. 

The Australian standard requires a replenishable termite barrier between the current home’s base and a newly poured concrete slab. In this situation, we would install a termite reticulation line beneath the slab where the old and new slabs meet so that it may be replenished when the chemical reaches the end of its life cycle. We connect it and replenish the line. The termiticide enters at a specific pressure, travels through the line, and disperses to establish a termite-free zone.

What is a Term Stop Reticulation System?

A term stop reticulation system consists of a network of term stop reticulation pipes put around the home’s perimeter under concrete paving and garden beds. Once installed, these pipelines are loaded with chemicals that prevent termites from gently dispersing into the soil.

Once the system is installed, which is shortly after the house is built and before the external concreting and gardens are done, it may be refilled numerous times, preserving your new home or investment for the life of the dwelling.

We utilise TermX termite reticulation systems because of their high durability and longevity and because, when combined with a powerful, long-lasting liquid anti-termite treatment, they provide extremely robust protection for a new building, effectively providing a termite shield.

TermX has a 50-year product warranty and is commonly utilised by Western Australian builders in the construction of homes, offices, and other commercial and government facilities. It meets Australian Standard 3660.1 for new building construction (domestic and commercial) and protects penetrations, perimeters, and control joints. It also meets Australia Standards 3660.2 when a new structure is built next to an existing structure.
