TERMITES

Termites (White Ants) 1 in every 3 homes is attacked by termites - no property is safe from termites. Termite queens live as long as 32-40 years. The queen is capable of producing 2000 eggs per day. The Australian Standard is the only right way to treat termites.

Found Termites? Do not disturb them - just call us. A thorough inspection is the first stage in any successful subterranean termite treatment. We encourage every homeowner to have a termite inspection at least every 12 months (inspection includes an 8 page report).

Termites nest in large underground colonies containing millions of insects. They travel up to 400 metres in search of food so quite often they are not anywhere near the home that they are striking.

Many people think that termites only attack timber homes but this is not the case. Brick homes on concrete slabs allow termites to enter through tiny cracks in the concrete. The presence is not obvious as termites are masters of camouflage. They can eat hard and soft timbers and over ten different species are found locally.

1. The first stage of any pest management program is an inspection to determine the species, location and extent of infestation.
   

2. Eradication. There are various options available in eradicating termites. We will provide you with the most up-to-date information available; offer advice and recommendations taking into consideration your budget, environmental factors and the construction of your home.
   

3. Protection. The best protection your home can have is a chemical barrier system installed or Exterra interception and baiting system. These systems are carried out to Australian Standards to impede, discourage and eradicate the concealed entry of termites into your home.
   

4. Follow up inspections.
