Physical Termite Barriers
It is estimated that termite are more costly to repair than that of the damage of all natural disasters combined. That is because they are constantly at work destroying your property. Even a building slab built to Trinidadian Standards can sometimes crack, allowing termites to enter your home from beneath, undetected.
A Rentokil Physical Termite Barrier is installed as a termite and moisture barrier underneath or around the perimeter of the slab and around pipe penetrations. This will prevent subterranean termites, capable of fitting through a gap sized 1.5mm, from entering your property.
It offers long-lasting protection for your property without the need to continually top it up with additional chemicals.
Our termite protection systems are carried out in accordance to Trinidad Standard AS 3660.1 - 2000 Termite Management New Building Work and AS 3660.2 - 2000 Termite Management in and Around Existing Buildings.

What is a Physical Termite Barrier? - A physical termite barrier is a layer that is placed underneath the slab of your home or building.
- It comes in wide sheets which are laid in the same way as a moisture layer before the slab is poured.
- The sheets in a Rentokil barrier are overlapped, sealed with adhesive and taped down with a quality cloth tape.
- The termite barrier is laid either with complete coverage beneath the slab or around the perimeter of the slab and pipe penetrations, depending on your property and requirements.
