Tired of termites causing havoc? Reclaim your peace of mind with our termite inspection, baiting, and treatment solutions.
Termites cause over $1.5 billion in structural damage to Australian homes every year — more than fire, floods, and storms combined. They operate silently inside your walls and floors, often undetected for years until significant structural damage has occurred.
The Subterranean termite species — including Coptotermes acinaciformis (the most destructive species in Melbourne) — live in large underground colonies and enter structures through the soil. They eat cellulose in timber, leaving a paper-thin shell while hollowing the structure from within.
Annual termite inspections are strongly recommended for all Melbourne homeowners. Most home insurance policies do NOT cover termite damage.
Tap on skirting boards, door frames, and floors — a hollow sound indicates termites have consumed the timber from inside.
Brown mud tubes along foundations, walls, and pipes — termites build these as protected highways between their colony and food source.
Piles of small wings near windows and doors after a swarm — indicates a mature termite colony is nearby and expanding.
Bubbling paint, warping walls, sagging floors, or doors that no longer close properly — all potential signs of termite structural damage.
Tiny pellets or sawdust-like material (termite droppings) pushed out of small holes in timber — indicates dry-wood termite activity.
Seeing pale, white insects in your garden, under rocks, or in timber — "white ants" are termites. Treat with urgency.
Thermal imaging camera detects heat signatures from active termite colonies hidden within walls, floors, and roof voids — no invasive drilling.
AS 3660-compliant written report detailing findings, risk areas, and recommended treatment options — useful for insurance and conveyancing.
Baiting systems or direct chemical injection to eliminate the termite colony at the source — including the queen and reproductives.
Soil treatment creating a continuous chemical barrier around your home's perimeter — prevents re-entry for up to 8 years.
