Termite Control: Choosing The Right Pest Control Company

Keiran Mortimer Pest Control • July 3, 2023

Termites are a common problem in Australia, causing significant damage to homes and businesses every year. Selecting a reliable pest control company is crucial in ensuring your property is protected from these destructive pests. In this article, we'll discuss the key factors to consider when choosing a pest control company, focusing on services such as pest inspections, termite control and termite barriers.

The Role of a Reliable Pest Control Company

Termites are not just a nuisance; they can cause severe structural damage to your property if not addressed promptly and cost you thousands in repairs. A reliable pest control company should offer comprehensive services, including comprehensive inspections, various termite control methods and a range of effective termite barriers. They should use the latest, safest equipment and techniques to ensure your home remains termite free.

The Importance of Regular Pest Inspections

 Regular pest inspections are a crucial part of maintaining a termite-free property. A thorough inspection can identify any existing termite activity, assess potential risk factors in the area and provide a comprehensive treatment and protection plan for a long-term solution. Try to find a termite control company that has experience conducting building and pest inspections for residential, commercial and industrial properties.

Termiticides and Fumigation: Targeted Termite Control

In severe cases of termite infestation, fumigation is often the recommended course of action. This method involves pumping gas into the infested wood. The gas penetrates deep into the wood, reaching the termites and their eggs, ensuring that the colony in question cannot cause further property destruction.


Termiticides are another effective tool in the arsenal against termites. These chemicals can be applied to the ground or directly to affected wood, providing a targeted solution to termite infestations. The application process typically involves drilling holes into the infested wood before pumping the termiticides into these holes. Once the chemicals are in place, the holes are sealed up, trapping the termiticides inside the wood.

Termite Barriers: A Proactive Approach

Termite control involves more than just eradicating existing termite colonies. It's about implementing long-term solutions to prevent future infestations. Choose a company that offers a range of high-quality termite barriers to proactively block termites from accessing your property in future. Many of these barriers include a chemical repellent, protecting your structure from all angles and preventing termites from attacking from underground. While quality termite barriers can be expensive, they are worthy investment for long-term termite protection.
