Family-owned termite protection across the Macquarie Valley
The Central West is growing quickly, with new estates spreading across Dubbo, Orange and Bathurst. It is also a region where subterranean termites thrive, sustained by river systems, farmland timber and warm inland summers. Getting termite protection right at the construction stage protects that investment from day one.
Termi Home & Commercial (Macquarie Valley) is owned and operated by Andrew and Jenny Murphy. Andrew is a qualified Termimesh installer and pest manager who stays hands-on across installations and site supervision. The family business employs qualified installers in both Dubbo and Bathurst with more than 20 years of combined installation experience. Thousands of homes across the Macquarie Valley are already protected by the Termimesh System, part of a national story spanning over 700,000 installations.
Andrew and Jenny are also active in the local community, regularly sponsoring and participating in local events.
How the Termimesh System keeps termites out
Termimesh blocks the hidden entry points termites rely on – pipe penetrations, construction joints and the slab edge – using marine-grade TMA 725 stainless steel mesh that termites can neither pass through nor damage.
Because the barrier is physical, it doesn’t lose effectiveness over time, wash away or need to be reapplied. The system is fitted during construction and certified to Australian Standard AS 3660.1 for termite management in new building work.
Why Central West builders work with Termi
Builders across the Central West deal with long distances and tight construction schedules. Our business is built to solve both.
- Installers based in Dubbo and Bathurst – genuine local coverage across the eastern region without long mobilisation delays
- An owner who is on the tools – Andrew personally installs and supervises, and the team has strong working relationships with builders and site trades across the region
- Two short visits timed to your slab programme – pre-pour penetrations and joints, then the perimeter once the concrete has cured
- Quotes prepared from your plans – with more than 150 specification drawings available for reference
AS 3660.1 certification on completion – documentation supplied for your certifier and handover pack

For homeowners building in the Central West
When you build in Dubbo, Orange or Bathurst, the termite protection included in your contract will quietly shape your costs for decades. Systems that need scheduled retreatment keep charging you long after the build is finished. A stainless steel barrier is different – one installation, no upkeep and no expiry on its working life.
Remember that home insurance in Australia does not cover termite damage under any standard policy. The system installed with your slab is the protection you will rely on, so it is worth asking your builder exactly what they intend to use and whether Termimesh can be specified instead.
The Pledge Guarantee – real protection in writing
Every installation of Termimesh across the Macquarie Valley is backed by the Pledge Guarantee*.
- 10 years of cover from installation day, with no obligation to book annual inspections during the initial term to keep the warranty valid*
- Full repair of structural termite damage with no monetary cap if the system is breached*
- The option to extend cover indefinitely – every annual inspection during the initial term and any credited additional years will provide you with an additional year of warranty
- An independent Warranty Fund that handles claims separately from the business and financial institutions
- Cover that applies equally to homes, commercial premises and public projects
We recommend regular termite inspections in line with AS 3660.1 as part of responsible property ownership.

How far does the Macquarie Valley team travel?
Further than most. With installers in Dubbo and Bathurst, the team routinely services projects from Lithgow and Cowra out to Broken Hill, Lightning Ridge and Bourke. If you are building anywhere in the Central West or far west of New South Wales, it is worth a call.
How much does a termite barrier cost in the Dubbo region?
It depends on the size and complexity of the slab – the perimeter length and the number of pipe penetrations drive most of the cost. The price of your termite barrier is calculated via the plans provided by your builder, so you shouldn’t get hit with any nasty surprises.
If you choose Termimesh, you only pay once with no retreatment costs afterwards to budget for.
Who installs the barrier on my site?
All installations are completed by qualified, accredited Termimesh installers, with Andrew directly involved in installation and supervision across the region. The same local team handles your job from quote through to certification.
How can I tell if termites are active on my block?
Mud leads on fences, posts and tree trunks, hollow-sounding timber and termite poop (frass) are some common signs of termite activity. On rural and semi-rural blocks around Dubbo, activity in surrounding timber is very common, which is exactly why new buildings in the region warrant a physical barrier from the outset.
What types of buildings can Termimesh protect?
Any new slab-on-ground construction – homes, duplexes, sheds with habitable fit-outs, commercial premises and public buildings. With over 150 specification drawings available, the system adapts to virtually any construction style used across the Central West.
