We also offer specialised pest control treatments, for infrequent pests or larger infestations, such as pest control ants, rodent control and wasp nest removal.

Termite Control Services Ringwood

Termite Inspection Ringwood

A termite pest inspection can be considered a “health check” for your home – not only will they record the presence of any termite activity or damage, it will also identify any conditions or construction issues that may make a termite attack more likely. Building authorities, government bodies and Australian Standards, all recommend that houses should be inspected at least once a year.

To support our experienced inspectors, we use the latest termite detection equipment including the FLIR E6 thermal imaging camera and Termatrac T3i. This ensures we get as much information as possible, which we include in our multi-page termite inspection report along with any recommendations.

Termite Treatment Ringwood

If your home is under termite attack, there are 2 stages to the termite treatment: firstly we eliminate termites from a building, secondly we install a termite management system to provide the long-term protection. Houses in Ringwood can either have a soil treatment or termite baiting system installed to protect the building, depending on the construction type. At Termites VIC, we are accredited, skilled and experienced to use all the leading termite treatment products, so we can select the best termite treatment for your particular situation. We guarantee elimination of active termites from your building and can offer the $2 million Timber Assurance warranty with Termidor treatments. 

Termite Protection Ringwood

Termite protection needs to be installed during the construction of new homes in Ringwood or sometimes even if you are carrying out renovations. Please contact us to discuss your project at the planning stage. At Termites VIC we only use quality products – Kordon or Termseal – to ensure your home is protected for the long term.

Pre-Purchase Timber Pest Inspections Ringwood

Pre-purchase Timber Pest Inspections or pest inspections for short, are one of the key inspections all property buyers should commission on any house they are considering purchasing. They are separate to building inspections and inspect for termites, borers and timber decay and any issues which may make a timber pest attack more likely. This is essential information when considering to buy a property, negotiating the price of bidding at an auction.
