Termite Control
Termites are small
insects that are sometimes known as 'White Ants'. Termites or white ants cause
considerable structural damage to your home which can cost
you a fortune to replace, such as floors and roof beams.
You can take simple steps to
help keep termites away, such as clearing out timbers that
may litter your property such as wood piles, tree stumps,
and timber based garden ornaments. Termites are also
attracted to water so be sure to fix all leaking taps and
pipes. The best way to identify termite infestations is to
have a regular termite inspection agreement in place with
your Pest Controller. Contact us to organise a yearly
termite inspection.
| What to do if you find
termites? If you
discover termites or their mud trails or timber damage, don't
panic! (don't disturb them if possible, don't spray them with
fly spray, it has no effect on the overall colony). Call a
professional pest manager at the earliest opportunity to arrange
for a thorough property inspection and advice on treatment
options.
Termite management requires training in locating and detecting
activity and colony workings. The pest manager has extensive
knowledge of termite biology and behaviour.
A pest manager is experienced in one of the most important
aspects of termite management property inspection. He is able to
correctly interpret inspection results and thus recommend
appropriate treatment methods. |

A pest manager
understands building construction techniques and how they relate
to the planning and implementation of a successful termite
management program.

and maintenance of the specialised systems that are available
