Termite Control
Our termite control services use advanced methods like Termidor HE treatments and Sentricon baiting systems to eliminate infestations and prevent future attacks. We conduct thorough inspections to identify entry points and apply non-repellent chemical barriers or bait stations tailored to property needs. All treatments come with warranties, including the Termidor $2 million Assurance Warranty, ensuring long-term protection for residential and commercial properties.
Pest Control
We provide comprehensive pest control for ants, cockroaches, spiders, wasps, and rodents using targeted treatments. Our residential services include annual general pest treatments, while commercial clients receive customized plans with regular inspections. Treatments prioritize safety around children and pets, using quality products with excellent safety profiles while maintaining environmental responsibility through minimal-impact application methods.
Termite Inspection
Our termite inspections follow Australian Standards AS3660 and include checks for borers and wood decay under AS4349.3. Using thermal imaging cameras and Termatrac detectors, we inspect sub-floors, roof voids, and external areas to identify activity signs like mud tubes or damaged timber. Reports include photos, damage assessments, and recommendations for remediation and prevention strategies to maintain property integrity.
Termite Treatment
Termite treatments combine eradication of active infestations with long-term protection systems. We use Termidor soil barriers or Sentricon baiting systems based on property requirements, ensuring termites cannot re-enter undetected. Treatments include nest elimination where possible and barrier installation to redirect termites toward bait stations, backed by warranties requiring annual inspections to maintain coverage and effectiveness.
Termite Protection
For new constructions or renovations, we install Kordon termite barriers and Termseal systems to eliminate concealed entry points. These physical and chemical barriers force termites into visible pathways during inspections. Existing properties receive tailored management plans combining soil treatments or baiting systems with annual inspections, ensuring compliance with building codes and maintaining warranty validity through proactive maintenance schedules.
