About Termites
Termites are destructive pests that can cause extensive damage to Australian homes and buildings. There are several species of termite, such as drywood termites, dampwood and subterranean termites. Each termite colony contains workers, soldiers, the queen, and king.
Soldiers protect the colony and are categorised as minor or major based on their head and mandible size. Major soldiers have an elongated head with very large mandibles while minor soldiers have smaller mandibles. Both work together to defend a single colony that can range from 20,000 up to 5 million termites.
Destructive termites build interconnected workings out of chewed wood, soil, and saliva to travel between their place and food source. They avoid light and direct contact with treated soil or chemical barriers. Termites need a reliable moisture source to thrive, readily infesting damaged tree poles, posts, stumps and susceptible timber structures.

White Ant Prevention Tips
- Eliminate wood moisture sources around your Australian ground. Fix leaky fixtures and pipes that allow dampwood termites nesting location.
- Use treated pine lumber when building fences, porches, and structural timber around Australia. Treated wood prevents these destructive species from infesting and tunneling.
- Keep branches, stumps from dead trees, and mulch at least 20cm from your house. This avoids creating bridges and food sources for subterranean termites to access your property.
- Get regular pest inspections on your entire Australian commercial property. This allows for early detection of all types of termite species before extensive termite damage requiring costly repairs.

FAQs
How do you know if I have termites or white ants?
Our licensed technicians can positively identify white ants during a thorough white ant inspection. We determine the species and extent of the infestation.
What chemicals do you use to get rid of white ants?
We use bifenthrin, fipronil, imidacloprid and boron-based products that are specially formulated to eliminate white ants. Treatment plans are tailored to your specific infestation.
Why choose professionals over DIY white ant treatment?
Improper application of chemicals can make pest infestations worse. Our years of experience allow us to correctly identify and eliminate all parts of the white ant colony.
How much could termite damage cost me?
If left alone, termites can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your property. Since termites need water to live, they often follow leaky pipes into a house. This can allow them to spread without being noticed. Ignoring an infestation for too long can result in repairs costing several thousand dollars or more. Acting quickly can keep damage costs way down.
