Protecting more than just your home!
Left untreated, termites can literally eat away at your greatest asset, your home. Termites cause many millions of dollar's damage to buildings in Australia every year which is not covered by your household Insurance. If we detect a termite infestation or the potential for one, we will discuss the best solution for your situation.
This solution works inside, outside, and within the foundation to provide a protective area around your home. The treatment offers immediate protection as well as protection from future infestations throughout the duration of the protection plan.
We use application flowmeters to record the amount of termiticide used in each area and the cumulative total recommended after each treatment, to deliver the precise amount needed.
Bait Stations are placed around your property to intercept termites. Once intercepted, Termite Bait is added to the Station. The termites feed on the poison and the colony is eliminated easily and quickly, right at the point of termite attack.
Baiting Stations are inspected every three months, at completion you will receive a Termite Control Service report that outlines exactly what was found.
A termite inspection is recommended at least annually by the Australian Standard AS3660 even if you have a termite protection system in place. It's important to know that having a termite system in operation makes termites easier to detect but wont stop them from attacking your building. Your existing termite protection system may also be ineffective due to numerous reasons which you need to be aware of. A comprehensive report gives you essential information on:

Keeping your home free from pests is always a joint effort between you and the Professional Pest Controller. Our services are highly effective, but only if the home-owner is doing their best to limit "Pest-Friendly Environments".
Below is a list of the most common pests and some useful tips to ensure your Pest Control Service is effective:
Once inside your home the pest will seek harbourage, food and water. Cockroaches have an aggregation pheromone in their droppings – that is why they cluster together – so sealing potential harbourages, such as the gap between stainless steel and tiles can assist in minimising infestations.
Look for quiet places to nest in such as wall and roof voids, sheds and piles of debris. Rats can squeeze through a gap the thickness of your thumb, mice through a gap the size of your little finger. Baiting is only part of effective rodent management.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) efforts, including prevention, sanitation, and exclusion, that reduce insects will also help to reduce spiders both directly and indirectly - by reducing the "food" on which they prey. Spiders tend to spin their webs in quiet, secluded areas. To discourage such nesting in and around your home:
