Our comprehensive general pest control treatment:

Most homeowners prefer a once a year general pest treatment to keep the creepy crawlies at bay. We spend time to carry out a complete and professional pest control treatment. Although we "only" offer a 3 month warranty, this is because even the best chemicals on the market do not last for more than 3 months when exposed to the sun and rain. However, we know that many of our happy clients have a pest free home for longer than that, which is why they keep coming back each year for their annual pest treatment.

How safe are our treatments?

We only use products that are safe to using around the home. There's no need to leave the home during the treatment - just steer clear of the areas being treated and don't re-enter until the treatment is dry. Pets should be tied up and kept clear of the treatment areas until dry.

Before we start a treatment we carry out a risk assessment to check for any hazards or safety issues. If you have any concerns please let us know before the treatment.

Extra value...

Many of our customers have their annual termite inspection carried out at the same time, giving them a significant saving over the price of two separate services.

With up to 1 in 3 homes likely to be attacked by termites during their lifetime and termite damage not covered by most home insurance, it makes sense to have a termite management plan to protect your most valuable investment - your home. A comprehensive termite management plan includes an annual termite inspection, property maintenance to reduce the attractiveness of your property to termites and the installation of a termite management system to prevent termites entering your home unnoticed.

Termite inspections

Termite inspections are recommended at least annually and more often in areas of high termite pressure.  Not only do the inspections check to see whether termites are attacking your property or are present in your yard, but they also identify issues around the property that need to be remedied to make it less attractive to termites. We also pick up leaks and other building maintenance issues, so it's more like a "health check" on your home. All our inspectors are highly trained and use the latest termite detection equipment to provide comprehensive termite inspections. With our comprehensive insurance you can have complete peace of mind,

Termite treatments

The first step in a termite treatment is to carry out a comprehensive termite inspection to determine the extent of the infestation and level of damage. It is important to determine the species present, how the termites entered the building and any construction / maintenance issues that may have contributed to the termite attack.

The second step is to eliminate any active termites from the building. We will use termite dusts, termite baits or termite foams, depending on the situation. This may take several weeks to several month to eliminate the termites, depending on the products we use and the extent of the problem.

Once we have confirmed the termite activity has been eliminated from the building we install a termite managements system to prevent future attacks the third step in the process. Although we will have eliminate the termites from the building, it is often not possible to confirm we have killed the colony and there may also be further termite nests in the area waiting to attack your home! Lasting protection from termites can be achieved using either liquid termiticide treatment to the soil around and under the building or through the installation of a termite monitoring system.

Liquid termiticide treatments prevent termites getting in to your house without being noticed - to get in they would need to build a mud tube over the treated soil and when they do this they can be spotted. Sometimes a liquid soil treatment cannot be installed due to the soil or construction type or due to the personal preference of the home owner. In such cases a termite baiting system can be installed. This consists of plastic termite monitoring stations containing wood which are placed in the soil every 2-3m around the property. These are inspected every 2-3 months. If termites are detected in these monitoring stations a termite baiting treatment will commence to eliminate the termites.

Termite protection

The liquid soil treatments and termite baiting systems described above can provide lasting protection from termites for existing properties, but for new properties being built and renovations / extensions, a range of different termite protection measures are required. These pre-construction termite treatments are often a combination of physical and chemical barriers which are integrated with the construction features of the building to provide an integral termite protection system.

If you are thinking of building a home or carrying out renovations / extensions, give us a call before you start so we can advise you as to the range of options available. Although some builder are knowledgeable in this area, many will provide poor advice or only install the cheapest option. When it comes to protecting your most valuable asset, we believe it is important to give you all the information so you can make an informed choice.
