Termites may be small however, they can make a substantial impact to your property and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage. The worst part is, most insurance companies do not cover damage caused by termites and if termites were able to damage something structural on your home than rectification costs can sky rocket substantially. Termites will usually inhabit areas close to the coastline of the Australian borded which puts Melbourne and the surrounding coastal suburbs in the high risk category.
Our termite control services have been ethically designed to ensure that your home remains structurally sound and a thorough inspection of your home will be completed including your yard and fenced area as once termites find a path to your home, they will start munching away at anything they can find.

Bedbug is a common name for a bloodsucking wingless insects. Cimex lectularius, in the family Cimicidae. It is a small, flat and oval bug, reddish brown in colour, with an unpleasant odor. The bedbug infests houses, particularly beds. It often hides during the day and feed at night. Sucking the blood of humans and other mammals, it is both a pest and a carrier of dangerous diseases. Two to four generations breed yearly, depending on the temperature and the food supply. The larvae resemble the adult, and they mature in about 11 weeks.
In Australia, bed bug infestation is recognised as a huge issue. After the year 1999, there has been a 5000% increase of cases. Moreover, nowadays bed bugs, which commonly infest houses and beds, have also spread in places like shops, planes, public transportation, accommodation, offices, waiting rooms, hospitals, cinemas.
Whilst there’s absolutely no proof to indicate that Bed Bugs transmit infectious disease, life threatening anaphylaxis might happen within a minority of instances where people show signs of serious allergy. Skin rashes and interrupted sleep patterns are a common complaint.
Bed bugs can infest your property for a long time without being noticed or seen, because they hide in dark places, such as deep inside a crevice in the bed frame or box spring, and they come out when we are asleep.

Potential signs that you may have termites - Professional Termite Inspection Tips
Damaged Timber
If you start to notice damaged timber around your home that feels lightweight, easy to break and pull apart with a hollow feeling to it – this is a strong indication of termites being present in your home.
Physically Seeing Termites
Termites are usually thought to be creatures that will hide so well within your home that you would never see them however, if you look along fence lines, in old tree stumps around your property you may typically see them.
Termite Tracks
Termite tracks look like dirt/mud casing tunnels that they build to provide protection from predators so that they can safely move around. If they are not underground than there is a good chance that they will build these tracks in humid places around your home.
How long does a termite inspection take?
A full and comprehensive termite inspection can take some time. The size of the home and construction type, sub-floor/no sub-floor and size of the property itself are all factored into the total length of the inspection. If your home is a standard three or four-bedroom house, as a rule of thumb, a termite inspection will take at least 1.5 to 2.5 hours—or even more if there are numerous issues to deal with.
Whats in a termite inspection report?
Our termite inspectors look for faults in your home that may cause future issues, not only with termites but also with other problems such as leaking plumbing, wood rot, broken roofing, leaking roofs and garden issues. In our termite reports, we list all these issues and also our recommendations to fix the problems. The homeowner can rectify most of these issues.
