Termite Control
Effective Termite Control, Removal & Treatments
Termites are sneaky little insects that love to eat timber. They hide in your walls and floors where you can’t see them. Then they slowly eat your wood from the inside out, damaging your home.
Termite causes millions of dollars of damage to homes and businesses in Melbourne every year. Your home insurance probably won’t pay for termite damage either. That’s why preventative termite protection is so important!

Signs You Need Termite Treatment
How can you tell if they might be hiding in your home? Watch out for these signs that you may need professional termite treatment:
- Damaged Wood – If you tap on a piece of timber and it sounds hollow or bubbly, they may have eaten away inside it. Our inspectors check all the timber in and around your home.
- Swarms of Flying Termites (Alates) – From October through March, you may see swarms of winged termites emerge. This likely means an established nest is somewhere on your property!
- Mud Tunnels – They build leads, tiny mud tubes to travel safely to timber they want to infest. We look for these during inspections.
- Soft Spots in Floors – If your flooring feels spongy or your vacuum sinks into it, they may be munching away underneath.
Call us at the first sign of termites for a professional inspection and treatment plan. We want to help save your home before those sneaky bugs cause too much damage!

How Do We Treat Termites?
Once our termite inspectors fully check over areas including the roof void, subflooring (concrete slab), internal and external timbers, nearby trees, fences, retaining walls, and more, we determine the full scope of your infestation. We then customise the best treatment plan for your situation using proven termite elimination solutions:
- Termidor – We apply this special targeted termiticide barrier in areas of need.
- Termite Reticulation Systems – A targeted underground chemical barrier.
- Termite Baiting Systems – These monitor and eliminate entire termite colonies.
- Fumigation tents – For more heavy infestations, fumigation kills all termites at once.
- Termite Barrier Treatment – Applying both physical and chemical barriers customised for your home.
- Wood reinforcement – We can structurally repair and brace damaged wood after treatment.
Our integrated pest management focuses on extermination AND prevention. Our Termidor, reticulation, baiting, barrier and fumigation treatments aim to eradicate invasions completely while putting preventative measures in place to keep destructive bugs away for good! Call us to inspect and get a treatment recommendation tailored for your home.
Termite Prevention Tips
Along with professional termite control, there are some easy things homeowners can do to discourage them:
- Get rid of loose timber stacks, fences, and landscape timbers at ground level since they attract them.
- Keep garden beds away from vents and weep holes so no termite entry undetected.
- Raise any wood on metal supports so it has less ground contact.
- Fix any leaky faucets, pipes, showers, or tanks. They love moisture!
- Put down a barrier around the perimeter of your home.
- Call us for a regular termite inspection every 6-12 months to catch them early.
Termite FAQs
What appearance do termites have?
Termites resemble skinny pale insects with two straight antennae. Winged reproductive ones swarm in early spring. You may also spot mud tunnels up the external walls of infested homes.

We use custom treatments like Termidor, baiting, fumigation and insecticide barriers for professional service.
I saw flying bugs near my home. Are they termites?
Possibly, if it is spring. Often clouds of alates emerge from mature nests to reproduce. Call for a regular inspection!
Do termites vary in size?
Yes, worker termites measure around 6 mm but soldier types are bigger to defend the nest. Winged ones reach over 10 mm.
How do pest control pros kill off termites?
We use targeted poisons, baits, fumigation and barrier sprays certified safe for indoor termite control.
What materials do termites consume?
They only feast on cellulose like wood and paper products, but can still critically damage homes this way.
