Why it matters in Hillcrest & the Upper Highway
The Upper Highway has a lot of established properties on large stands, which means two things: a steady stream of new builds and additions going up in mature gardens, and plenty of existing timber nearby for termites to have already found. Both make the barrier worth getting right.

Pre-construction or post-construction?
If the slab hasn’t been cast, you’re in the cheap version of this job. If it has, we can still help.
Pre-construction
Treated before the slab is cast. Full footprint, unbroken barrier, roughly 90% cheaper than doing it later.
How it worksPost-construction
For buildings already up, additions, or where termites have already appeared. Drill, inject and trench.

How long does it take to get my certificate?
Your certificate is issued within 12 hours of the treatment being completed and payment being received. In most cases we email it the same working day. If your inspection is booked for the following morning, tell us when you book and we’ll prioritise the paperwork so nothing on site is held up.
Settling the invoice on the day is the one thing that keeps the clock running — so if the certificate is urgent, get the payment away as soon as you have the invoice and we will do the rest.
How much does soil poisoning cost?
Pricing is based on the square meterage to be treated, site access, and whether the job is pre-construction or post-construction. Pre-construction is dramatically cheaper because the soil is open and accessible.
There is a price calculator on our cost page that will give you a rough figure in about ten seconds — it runs on our real rates. Treat it as an estimate: we still quote in writing with the scope spelled out, and plenty of jobs come in cheaper once we have seen the drawing.
What's the difference between pre-construction and post-construction treatment?
Pre-construction treatment happens before the slab is cast, while the soil is open. We treat the entire footprint and the trenches, creating an unbroken barrier under the whole building. It’s thorough and inexpensive because nothing has to be drilled or lifted.
Post-construction treatment is done on a building that already exists. It involves drilling through the slab or paving at intervals and injecting termiticide, or trenching around the perimeter. It works, but it costs considerably more and is harder to make continuous.
If your slab hasn’t been cast, book pre-construction. It’s the single biggest cost saving available on this job.
