What we do

Pre-construction termite treatments

Compliant chemical treatment of the Part A underslab and Part B perimeter,slab penetrations, internal construction joints and plumbing renovation cut outs. We work to the relevant Australian Standards AS3660 series to ensure your build is compliant.

Termite barrier installations

Physical or chemical barrier installation per builder spec, BCA-compliant, certificate issued on completion. We are accredited installers of HomeGuard Termite Protection System, Greenzone, TermtX Replenishment System, Altis Reticulation Systems and Camilleri Underslab Injection Systems.

Builders' top-up and re-application work

Once the original system is in, we keep the records and re-apply per the system's schedule. Most builders hand the relationship and the records over to the homeowner at handover; we keep both ends in sync.

Northern Rock Pest Control typically issues quotes within 24 hours of receiving your site plans. If your project has a tight deadline, please specify this in your request, and our team will prioritise your quote to ensure your construction schedule stays on track.

Are Northern Rock Pest Control’s termite management systems compliant with Northern Territory building standards?

Yes. We install all termite management systems in strict accordance with AS3660.1-2017 and NT Building Note 114. You can be assured that every system we advise and install is fully compliant with local Northern Territory regulatory requirements.

When will I receive the Certificate of Installation for my pre-construction termite treatment?

The Certificate of Installation is issued by Northern Rock Pest Control upon the successful completion of the job and final settlement of the account. This process ensures your compliance paperwork is accurate, verified, and ready for council assessors and your internal audit trail.

Does Northern Rock Pest Control service pre-construction projects across the entire Top End?

Yes. We provide pre-construction termite treatment services throughout Darwin, Palmerston, and the rural and regional Top End. For projects located outside our standard service area, we provide quotes that reflect specific travel and access requirements.

Can builders set up an account for ongoing termite management across multiple builds?

Yes. Northern Rock Pest Control offers dedicated builder accounts to streamline project management. By setting up an account with us, all your quotes, site scheduling, and invoicing are consolidated into one efficient relationship, making it easier to manage multiple construction sites simultaneously.

Got a slab pour coming up?

Build delay because the treatment did not happen on time. Trade penalties and rework downstream. Failed inspection because paperwork was not in order. None of these are theoretical. They are exactly the failures Top End builders wake up in the middle of the night worrying about. We are set up so they don’t happen on your job.
