Termite Control

Every termite job starts with an inspection, because no two houses need the same protection.

The inspection comes first

Termite management isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every house is different, and so is what’s around it. Our inspections follow the Australian Standard, and they tell us what your home actually needs before we recommend anything.

It isn’t the place to cut corners. A rushed inspection can miss what’s going on in your home, and that’s a big deal.

Getting ready

Give us access to as much of the house as you can. Clear stored things away from under the manhole and away from the walls. If you’ve had termites before, tell us about it.

Treatment and protection

What we recommend depends on what we find. It might be monitoring and baiting, a treated zone around the house, foaming or dusting, or protection built into a new home before the slab goes down.

Found live termites?

Don’t spray them. Call us on 1800 000 735.

A job at Elizabeth Beach

Renovations at an Elizabeth Beach home, south of Forster, turned up active termites. The owner didn’t spray them and called us. We inspected the next day and set up an Exterra monitoring and baiting system around the house.

Before you call

I've found termites. What do I do?

Don't spray them, and don't panic. Leave them where they are and call us on 1800 000 735.

How do I get ready for a termite inspection?

Give us access to as much of the house as you can. Clear stored things away from under the manhole and away from the walls. If you've had termites before and we don't know about it, tell us.

How do you treat termites?

It depends on what the inspection finds. Options include Exterra monitoring and baiting, Termidor treated zones, foaming and dusting, and pre-construction protection for new builds.
