Termicoat® (TTMS) is applied to porous building elements such as concrete, brickwork mortar and timber. TTMS will penetrate these building elements and permanently lock into the material providing a barrier to assist in protecting the building.
Termicoat® DOESN'T require future re-treatments and is durable in concrete, brickwork mortar and timber for the life of the structure. Termicoat® acts as a toxic slow acting stomach poison which over time will eliminate the termite colony.
Re-treatment may only be required in circumstances where the home has suffered a catastrophic flood event where TTMS has been applied and then a re-treatment of TTMS is necessary to reinstate the termite management system.
With Termicoat® there is no more waiting for collars to be installed before you pour your slab, Termicoat® Part A is applied with the Part B once the frame is up.
Protection is improved with a Termicoat® treatment to the frame and slab, we treat the slab edge, bottom plate and 300mm up each stud around the full perimeter of the house.
There's no need to have workers off site while Termicoat® is being applied, Termicoat® is safe to be applied while workers are on site unlike traditional soil chemical treatments in the past.
Keep your trades working!
Once applied by our registered applicators Termicoat® has a life time structural guarantee. There are no further treatments required to maintain the system. Termicoat® comes with a Life time warranty subject to T&C.

Termicoat® is manufactured by Endura Coatings, a Victorian based manufacturer. The principal ingredient in Termicoat® is a non-metallic mineral salt called borate, which naturally occurs in the environment. Borates are mined for various uses, including glass manufacturing and as an additive to agricultural fertilisers.
In 1956 CSIRO conducted research on the successful use of naturally-occurring borates and their ability to kill termites. These mineral salts have been both laboratory and field tested as an effective termiticide. The Boron chemicals permeate and bond to the building elements which forms a long-term chemical barrier acting as a slow acting stomach poison. Boron readily diffuses into moist termite soil tubes where many individuals contact the boron and are discouraged from building more tubes or feeding, (Williams 1997).
Termicoat® consists of the mineral salt boron, plus benzalkonium chloride and proprietary liquid glycol mix (which are found in many consumer products, such as deodorants, hand sanitiser, cosmetics and hydraulic fluids). These materials form a unique solution upon application that 'locks' onto both timber and mortar/concrete substrates, without leaching.
Termite control using the Termicoat® TTMS is about adopting an integrated pest management strategy (IPM). IPM embraces environmental protection in a proactive and preventative manner, whilst reducing risks to human health. Termicoat® borate termite treatment reduces the need for toxic pesticides that may enter clean water supplies where toxic pesticides are applied to soil on a regular basis (eg every 3-4 years). The non-biodegradable nature of the Termicoat® TMS means future re-treatments of Termicoat® are NOT required for the life of the structure.
Termicoat® is an APVMA, (# 89414/124752) approved chemical as required by the NCC Vol 2 2019, 3.1.4.3(d) and AS3660.1:2014, 1.4.1.3
