Termite Nest Removal
If a building is under termite attack, it makes sense to try and find the nest causing the problem. As one of the foremost termite treatment solutions, taking time to inspect the property around buildings under termite attack, with special attention to trees and tree stumps, is key to any successful treatment. However, inspections to AS 3660.2 are visual and non-intrusive- and while it includes a visual inspection of potential nest habitat in gardens and trees, it is not the most effective way to search for a termite nest in the Melbourne environment.
If we recommend that an ‘intrusive nest search’ is worthwhile as a separate service from the inspection, we will drill and temperature probe selected trees and stumps usually in the immediate area around an infested building. If we locate a nest, usually by following a heat source with temperature probes, it can usually be clearly demonstrated that it is indeed a termite nest with a Queen (s), and not merely a tree containing just feeding termites.
We are most successful at nest location in the treed outer Melbourne suburbs where the species Coptotermes frenchi is located. We have far less success at nest location in inner urban areas where, even if there are trees present, they don’t seem to contain the nests of the ‘urban termite’ Coptotermes acinaciformis.
Apart from assisting us in managing the termite infestations of our clients, we also provide nest location services in parks and reserves for councils, typically where residents have noticed the ‘tell-tale’ evidence of flying termites emanating from a tree.
pre-purchase inspections
What is a specialist pre-purchase termite inspection?:
A specialist pre-purchase home inspection involves the thorough inspection of a home prior to purchase. This inspection looks specifically for evidence of existing termite damage or activity and conditions likely to attract termites in the future. We also look for signs of fungal decay, wood rot and other types of pests, such as wood borers, that may be of concern to the property.
Specialist pre-purchase termite inspections are often required as part of the pre-purchase process when buying a property and must be carried out by a licensed timber pest inspector in accordance with Australian standards AS4349.3 — 2010.
How does a specialist pre-purchase termite inspection work?
A specialist termite inspection for pre-purchase is carried out by one of our licensed, highly trained and experienced service technicians to the highest standard. They will conduct a thorough inspection of the property, inside and out, both visually and using our specialist equipment to look for any signs of termite damage or other concern.
They will then provide a comprehensive report and overall evaluation of the property so you can make a fully informed decision regarding the purchase.
When do we recommend a specialist pre-purchase termite inspection?
We recommend using our specialist pre-purchase termite inspection service when you are purchasing a property and your general pest inspector cites your property as being at high risk for attracting termites.
As we are termite specialists with immense experience and state-of-the-art equipment, we are able to conduct more thorough inspections and provide more comprehensive termite advice than general pest inspectors.
This extra thoroughness removes the risk of existing termite issues going undetected and allows you to make a fully informed decision on your purchase.

Termite Baiting
A termite baiting system is when our experts strategically place bait stations around your property to attract and kill termites. These bait stations can be installed above or below ground and have to be serviced by technicians every couple of months for them to remain effective.
How does termite baiting work?
Termite baiting works by loading strategically placed bait stations around your home with a solution called Trelona. Much like Termidor, Trelona is eventually fatal to termites. It is also non-repellant, meaning infected termites can take it back to the nest to infect the rest of the colony, effectively wiping the problem out at the source.
How much does termite baiting cost?
Our termite baiting service varies in cost depending on the type and size of your home, the number of baits you have installed and the frequency in which our technician has to return to service them. Once our expert service technicians have completed their free onsite assessment, they will be able to give you an accurate quote on how much this service will cost for your home.
