How we solve your pest control problem
 
In solving and/or identifying your pest control problems we believe there is a process that needs to be followed. Firstly we start with the pest identification stage. This is essential because we need to determine exactly what your pest problem is so that our licensed Pest Control Technicians can recommend a solution suitable to your needs and the requirements of the environment.

Part of our pest control service is to look at your overall pest problem within your environment, and advise you if there are other pests that you should be made aware of, and brought to your attention. Our licensed Pest Control Technicians will discuss with you a pest control solution, and program, that will enable you to be in control of what is happening in your home and/or the environment in which you are working and/or living in.

You will be in control of what treatment is to take place in your home and surrounding environment, and the type of pest control system you require to eliminate your problem areas.

Pest Control - Termites
 

Termites are an essential part of our pest control services.  They are one of the most destructive pests to a home or building owner.  More often a large extent of damage is carried out, without the home or building owner knowing. 

How can Termites be controlled: By far the best way of controlling termites is seeking professional help from our licensed Timber Pest Management Technicians, who are fully trained to provide you with a termite management solution to suit your requirements and needs, and that may be:

  • Chemical Barrier System
  • Physical Barrier System
  • Reticulation Systems
  • Monitoring and Interception Systems

Pre-purchase Timber Pest Inspection (Termite Inspection)
 
Before you buy a home, it is recommended that you have a termite inspection report prepared to make sure the property is not infested by termites or other timber pests.

Timber pests can travel 50 metres underground, so fencing checks are necessary in a thorough inspection. A thorough Termite inspection and report will inform you about any current infestation, previous damage, areas likely to be infested in the future, and areas where additional inspections are recommended to maintain effective physical and chemical timber pest barriers.
