18.01.2022 With Termites they only want to eat 1 thing and that is timber, wet, mouldy, rotten, decayed and also dry timbers, from wood chip, mulch, branches, trees, posts, garden edging, retaining walls and also your wall studs and architrays will be targeted. If you think you may have Termites the best thing to do is leave them alone and call your Termite and Pest Control, but if you have disturbed them inside your home then using masking tape to cover the damage inside will help prevent them going into different parts of your walls and contact your local Termite and Pest control technician to treat them and the colony using Termidor.

14.01.2022 We would like to acknowledge that we are committed to safety 1st as we work this this crisis around COVID-19, we will be through this stressful time and we are open 7 days. As a family owned and operated business any guidelines set out by the CDC & Australian Health Department are being followed along with adhering to strict cleaning of clothes, cloths, hand washing and cleaning vehicles to ensure our family and memebers of the public are not transferring any infectious disease. You can still contact Total Termite and Pest Control 7 days a week for any of your Pest Management issues and Termite activity you may find working around your home. Our thoughts are with all families through this trying time and understand that this crisis is not easy for anyone.

10.01.2022 It is important to note that when concreting against your home that you have Termite Management in place along the cold joint as per the Australian Standards 3660.2-2017. This reduces the risk of hidden Termite entry into your home and also stops you having to cut open and lift out the new concrete just poured because the state Certifier hands you paper work stating that the work completed is not compliant with the Australian Standards and now your costs multiply to fix an is...sue that could have been prevented. Your Builder or Concretor should be up to scratch on the Australian Standards and should not be completing this work without advising you of the Termite Management required since 2010 and updated in 2017 in relation to a Chemical Reticulation System or Physical Termite Barrier in conjunction with any additional work attached to the existing building. The Australian Standards are in place to protect the home owner from dodgy work and to ensure all contracts of work being completed adhere to Reports system Australia and contractors are fully insured to work on your home. If in doubt contact your local Termite and Pest Control and we will explain all requirements to meet this Australian Standard as this is a requirement and is not something to be dismissed as costing extra but as part of your renovation costs.

07.01.2022 At first glance you don't really see what damage Termites can cause to the timber wall studs or roof rafters untill it's too late. As you can see there is enough damage in this roof that a builder or roofing company will charge thousands of dollars to replace part of the structure and make safe again, not to mention the damage to the internal wall that you are unable to see. This was a result of a leaking roof and gutter back flow, the wall became water damaged which was then... palletable for the termites to destroy and the Termites entered the house 10 meters away to get to that point and is why we recommend that you should have a Termite inspection of your home so we can show you any areas of your home that are vunerable to Termite attack and also show areas that Termites could potentially enter your home undetected so you can avoid thousands of dollars in repairs. Prevention against Termite attack is always the better way to protect your home against the highly damaging but very small pest. See more

06.01.2022 When you have Termites they can be very destructive not just in your home but your sheds, garages along with any timbers you have around your home & property. It is very important to store timbers up off the ground to keep them dry, along with checking all areas surrounding your home regularly as the Termites in the recording have destroyed the hard wood framing of the garage wall along with a bed & MDF board over a couple of months. Call your local pest control to help point out areas of suseptible or conducive conditions around your home so any termites can be prevented entry by some cost free solutions or if needed, Termidor can be used to treat any Termite activity found close to your home.

03.01.2022 This is a Termite, they are called an Alate and they are juevinal Queens and Kings and are always in pairs and there are several different species but these are the smaller Heterotermes Termite. These are colonating at the moment and are mistaken for flying ants but ants only have 2 wings. You can see that they have 4 wings and these wings are dropped when they enter your home and find a suitable place. It is a good idea to have your home and property inspected for Termites to help prevent any spieces of Alate causing problems in your home that could potentially cause thousands of dollars of damage.
