Termites can cause extensive damage to the structure of a building and go for years undetected without a monitoring and inspection regime. Over 100,000 homes suffer from termite attack each year in Australia. They can significantly devalue your home or property and cause large costs in repairs to any building containing timber — in March 2018 a primary school in Melbourne needed A$6 million to repair long-term termite damage.

Professional solutions are the most effective way to detect, monitor and treat termites. The Building Code of Australia requires structural components of new buildings to be protected from termite attack. Our termite protection systems conform to Australian standards AS 3660.1-2000 and AS 3660.2-2000, for protection of new and existing buildings respectively.

It is important to identify which type of termite is invading your property. Different types of termite behave differently and leave different signs of their presence as they search for food and eat away inside timber.

All types of termites can cause damage to your home, but knowing a bit more about the different species of termites can help identify them more easily.
The location of your property as well as its component structure will both have an impact on the termite species, which you may be at risk of.
However, some of the points below could be of help to you, when checking your building for signs of activity:
1. Certifications - Licenses and certifications will demonstrate that your treatments are carried out to the highest industry standard practices.
2. Affiliated associations - Membership of recognised industry associations such as the Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association will ensure your services are provided by a trained, insured and trusted company, which has to comply with strict membership criteria.
3. Personal recommendations - Even today, word-of-mouth and personal recommendations can be more powerful than a company’s own word. Speak to neighbours, peers, friends or family to find out about customer satisfaction.
4. Transparency - Complete honesty and transparency early-on regarding the cost, level and duration of treatment required will help you see if the company is reliable.
5. Expertise & experience - A well established, recognised company can offer a peace of mind in the services provided and its relationship with customers.
