More on termite control measures to protect your home and information on termites.
Annual termite inspections are a must for homeowners. With termites able to cause significant damage in as little as 6 months, commended by all governments, building authorities and Australian Standards, recommend a professional termite inspection at least annually, but more often in areas of high termite pressure. Not only will the inspection identify the presence of termites and termite damage, but will identify building issue and conditions that may make a future termite attack more likely.
There are two parts to a termite treatment – the first part eradicates active termites from the building and the second part provides the long term protection from future termite attack. There are 2 types of termite protection system – soil treatments or termite baiting systems. Although we utilise both type of system, at Termites VIC we generally prefer Termidor soil treatments which come with a the Termidor $2 million Assurance Warranty.
If you are building a new home or carrying out renovations, incorporating the necessary termite protection measures before and during construction is essential. In Melbourne there are “termite declared” areas where termite protection is a requirement, but the reality is that termites are everywhere (termites don’t care about postcodes) and so all buildings should include the necessary termite protection measures.
If you’re looking to buy a house or bid at an auction a pre-purchase timber pest inspection provides essential information to inform your purchase decision. Not only will it identify active timber pests (termites, borers and wood decay) but areas of damage, and building issues or conditions that may be a timber pest attack more likely in the future. With this information you can decide whether to proceed with the purchase or not, and if you proceed, whether the information on timber pests impact the price.

When we carry out ant pest control, there are two parts to a professional ant treatment, firstly (if possible) we try and eliminate all the nests causing the problem. Typically this involves using ant baits and sprays. Secondly, we carry out a spray treatment to keep the ants out of the building.
In most cases spider pest control is covered in our general pest treatment. This “spider spray” is particularly effective on web-building spiders and provides a barrier to help prevent spiders entering the house. If you have a specific spider problem, a more in depth investigation and treatment may be required.
