Termite protection built around your home
Termite Control Melbourne
Termites eat timber from the inside. If you think you have them, book an inspection. Our termite technicians inspect with moisture and noise detection and a keyhole camera (about 3 hours), then treat with liquid barriers or bait stations to protect your property.

Common Signs of Termite Infestation
Termites work from the inside out and are rarely seen. By the time damage is visible the colony has usually been active for months. Look for these warning signs:
Our 3-Step Termite Process
Inspect & Diagnose
We inspect the building inside and out, including the gardens, roof void and subfloor, using moisture detection, noise detection and a keyhole camera. You get our findings in person and in writing.
Treat & Control
Treatment is either a chemical barrier or a baiting system. We choose between them after the inspection, and it is priced per job.
Prevent & Monitor
We give advice on moisture and entry points, and we monitor for new activity.
Two Ways to Treat Termites
We use two termite treatment methods, chosen to suit your property and the infestation. Every product we use is registered by the APVMA (Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority), which assesses every pest control product before it can be sold or used in Australia. We use high-quality professional products and don't cut corners with cheaper second-grade ones.
Liquid Barrier Treatment
A liquid treatment applied to the soil around the building, forming a treated zone termites must cross. Used in homes and businesses.
Bait System Treatment
Bait stations that collect termite samples for identification and target the colony.

Termites We Find Around Melbourne
Getting the identification right matters, because it shapes the treatment.
Subterranean Termites
As the name suggests, these destructive termites live underground and damage the foundations of homes or buildings. They usually set up mud tubes around the walls to source food for their nests and eat up the wooden structure of your home from the base. Subterranean termites risk the structural integrity of any building and can cost thousands of dollars to repair.
