Termite Inspections

A termite inspection is the only way to protect your main asset – Your home.
Termites attack homes all year round, with 1 in 3 homes being attacked in Australia each year, and without and termite protection in place, they can cause irreversible damage to a home. Often by the time you have seen/heard the termites in your home the damage has begun.
Termites are seen more in the warmer seasons, this however doesn’t mean that they are the most active during these times. It is over the cooler months that termites are busy feeding and causing damage so the “fatten up” and are ready to emerge in Spring.

Comprehensive Termite Inspection

When you hire a pest control company for a termite inspection – PLEASE ensure that the company are using the most up to date methods. There are some company’s that are not following the Australian guidelines and still using methods that are not accurate.
Without a comprehensive inspection, you will not have the full picture of what is happening in your property
So Pest Off uses the following FOUR methods for every single termite inspection we do.

Visual Inspection, Audible Inspection, Thermal and Moisture Imaging and Termatrac Radar Detection

Should you delay a termite inspection?

Along with a minimum annual general pest inspection all home owners/property owners should be organising their annual termite inspection. While older homes are usually more at risk of being attacked due to lack of termite prevention systems, new homes must undergo  routine inspections each year.

Annual Termite Inspections

An annual termite inspection every year will allow you to have a clear image of what is happening inside your walls, under your home, and in your surroundings. We ensure that your home and property is protected and termites are being kept at bay.

Some home owners also assume that the area they live in makes it harder for termites to attack if they are not surrounded by dense bush land.
This unfortunately couldn’t be further from the truth.

For a small cost you could be protecting your home from irreparable damage.
Roof & balcony collapses from termite damage and both a very real and dangerous reality.
So Pest Off will work with you to build a comprehensive protection plan.

Termite FAQ’s

Termites are actually the most active and damaging during the autumn and winter periods. They attack homes during this time to feed and build their nests for the colder seasons, bringing damage that can be destructive for a home. Unfortunately the most common mistake made by home owners is when the assumption is made that due to the lack of evidence, there is no damage. When you can’t see termites is when you should be keeping up with your inspections and preventative treatment plans. Termites dig deeper in the wintertime and bury themselves within their nests and start to feed and colonise during these times to ensure the queen is reproducing at high numbers

The most obvious sign of termite infestation is the presence of mud trails on the exterior walls of your home. If you notice small piles or tubes of “Mud or Dirt” on any part of your walls that is above the ground, then get it inspected – DO NOT DISTURB it.
The mud trails act as a protected tunnel that allows them to travel from the outside to the inside of your home. It will lead to a small crack, gap, or a weep hole that has direct access into the house.

The most common areas to find mud trails are usually around the walls edge, coming up from the ground around the lower edges of the brickwork. Another common area to see them is under the house on concrete stumps or uprights.If you find these mud tubes inside your home, then there is a termite infestation which requires immediate action.

Most common signs of termites

  • Mud Trails
  • Soft floorboards/architraves
  • Consistent power shortages
  • Cracked paint/plaster
  • Swarm of flying insects outdoors
  • Clicking sounds coming from the walls

TERMIDOR

We use Termidor, a highly effective termite control solution. Unlike older style chemicals that termites can detect and avoid, Termidor remains undetectable, ensuring that termites pass through it and ultimately perish. It is highly effective in eliminating termite colonies, as it can be passed on from termite to termite through contact and ingestion.

Termites can detect older chemicals in the soil, and in turn can avoid them. Termites can’t sense Termidor, which means they will continue to pass through the chemicals, killing them through contact & ingestion. Termites are social insects that live together in large colonies and feed and groom each other. So termites that have come into contact with Termidor soon pass it on to others. Even those secondarily affected termites can also pass Termidor on through feeding or contact.

$2 Million Dollar WARRANTY

The Termidor Assurance Warranty is unique. It covers your home for structural damage up to $2 million. It also guarantees that your home has been treated by an accredited Termidor applicator using genuine Termidor – not one of the many inferior copies. All you have to do is speak to your accredited pest controller who will start the warranty process.

Trelona® ATBS and Termidor® – Combined protection, unmatched piece of mind

The unique advantage of Trelona® ATBS is that it can be used in combination with Termidor® Residual termiticide and insecticide and Termidor® HE high-efficiency termiticide.

Termidor® has been the most trusted name in termite control since 2002 and has been the benchmark for termiticides in the Australian market. This trusted technology can now be combined with the most advanced baiting system available.

Due to termite risk or construction design, a combined treatment may provide the most adequate and thorough protection for your home. Where required or in instances where additional “piece of mind” is desired, your pest management professional may design a treatment plan combining the power of these two trusted technologies
