Our Services

Pre-Construction Termite Management

Investing in a new construction project is a significant decision, and protecting that investment from potential termite damage is crucial. We specialise in pre-construction termite management, ensuring your property is safeguarded from the outset. As a Greenzone Accredited Installer, our expertise in termite control provides you with peace of mind that your home or building is well-protected.

Pre-construction termite management involves implementing preventive measures before construction begins to reduce the risk of termite infestations. By addressing potential vulnerabilities early, you can avoid costly damage and ensure the longevity of your property. This proactive approach is essential for any construction project, whether residential or commercial.
Site Assessment:
We begin with a comprehensive site assessment to identify potential termite risks. We evaluate the landscape, and surrounding structures to determine the best course of action.
Treatment Options:
We offer a range of effective treatment on physical barriers. These solutions create a protective zone around your property, deterring termites from gaining access.
Installation:
Once the appropriate treatment is selected, we install the necessary barriers according to industry standards. We ensure that all treatments are applied correctly and thoroughly to maximise effectiveness.
Follow-Up:
Ongoing monitoring is vital to maintaining your property’s protection. We recommend periodic follow-up inspections to ensure the effectiveness of the treatments and address any new concerns that may arise.
Protection Against Costly Damage: Implementing pre-construction termite management significantly reduces the risk of termite infestations, preventing expensive repairs down the line.

Compliance with Building Regulations: Our services help you meet local building codes and regulations regarding pest management.

A: Yes, we use environmentally responsible treatments that are safe for your family and pets.

A: While our treatments are designed to be effective, we recommend periodic inspections to ensure ongoing protection.

Termite Baiting & Management

We specialise in termite baiting and management, an effective and eco-friendly way to control termites and prevent further infestations. Using industry-approved and accredited systems, such as Termatrix and Trelona, our termite baiting approach targets termites at their source, providing lasting protection for your home or business.

Termite baiting and management is a termite control method that involves strategically placing bait stations around your property. These bait stations attract termites, which consume the bait and carry it back to their colony. Over time, this method effectively eliminates the termite colony, reducing the risk of further damage to your property. Unlike traditional chemical treatments, baiting targets termites without posing risks to your family, pets, or the environment.
Site Assessment:
We conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify signs of termite activity and determine the ideal locations for bait stations.
Installation of Bait Stations:
We strategically place termite bait stations in high-risk areas around your property. These stations are carefully installed to ensure they attract termites effectively.
Monitoring and Maintenance:
Regular monitoring is crucial to the success of termite baiting. We routinely check the bait stations to ensure they remain effective, replacing bait as necessary to continue eliminating termite colonies.
Follow-Up and Adjustments:
Based on monitoring results, we adjust the placement or frequency of bait to ensure ongoing protection. We take a proactive approach to keep your property termite-free.
Targeted Solution: Termite baiting targets termites directly at the source, eliminating colonies rather than just deterring individual termites.
Eco-Friendly and Safe: Our baiting systems are non-invasive and safe for the environment, making them suitable for homes with children and pets.
Long-Lasting Protection: With regular monitoring, termite baiting offers continuous protection, reducing the likelihood of future infestations.
Reduced Property Damage: Early intervention and targeted management prevent extensive damage, helping you avoid costly repairs.
Q: How long does it take for termite baiting to work?
A: The baiting process usually takes a few weeks to several months, depending on the size and activity of the termite colony. However, regular monitoring ensures that baiting remains effective over time.
Q: Is termite baiting safe for pets and children?
A: Yes, termite baiting is a safe method, as the bait stations are placed securely in targeted areas around the property and contain minimal active ingredients harmful to people or pets.
Q: How often should the bait stations be checked?
A: We recommend monthly or quarterly checks to ensure optimal effectiveness. We will work with you to set a monitoring schedule based on your property’s needs.
Q: Can termite baiting be used alongside other termite treatments?
A: Yes, termite baiting can be combined with other treatments, such as barriers, to provide enhanced protection for your property.

Pre-Purchase Timber Pest Inspection

Purchasing a property is a significant investment, and a pre-purchase timber pest inspection can help protect that investment. Our detailed inspection process assesses the property for termite activity and other timber pests, giving you peace of mind and helping you make an informed decision.

A pre-purchase timber pest inspection is a thorough examination of a property to identify signs of termite infestations, wood borers, fungal decay, and other issues that could compromise the integrity of the structure. This inspection is crucial for buyers, as it provides insight into potential pest-related issues and helps determine the true condition of the property before purchase.
Comprehensive Inspection:
As qualified inspectors, we assess all accessible areas of the property, including interior rooms, subfloors, roof voids, and outdoor areas like fences, garages, and landscaping.
Advanced Detection Tools:
We use specialised tools and equipment, including moisture meters to detect signs of hidden pest activity and areas prone to moisture, which attract pests.

After completing the inspection, we provide a comprehensive report with findings, photos, and recommendations within 24 hours. Our reports outline any current infestations, past damage, and areas that may be at risk, giving you a clear understanding of the property's condition.
Professional Recommendations:
We provide tailored recommendations based on our findings. If treatment or preventative measures are required, we guide you through the options to protect your investment.
Peace of Mind Before Purchase: Know the true condition of the property and avoid unexpected expenses.
Informed Decision-Making: A thorough inspection gives you confidence in your purchase, helping you negotiate terms or reconsider if significant issues are found.
Comprehensive Protection: By identifying pest issues early, you can take preventative action to protect your investment.
Expert Advice: As experienced inspectors, we provide clear recommendations to address and prevent pest issues, helping you safeguard your new property.
Q: How long does a pre-purchase timber pest inspection take?
A: The inspection usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. We aim to deliver the report within 24-48 hours.
Q: What areas are included in the inspection?
A: We inspect all accessible areas, including interior rooms, roof voids, subfloors, outdoor areas, fences, garages, and landscaping elements where timber pests might be present.
