Termites attack 1 in 3 homes in the Illawarra NSW region

Termites are a major worry: Recent industry surveys suggest that about one in three homes in the Illawarra region will suffer a termite infestation. To make matters worse your home insurance policy will NOT cover the damage which may involve costly replacement of structural timbers.

termites can build a sub-nest in a wall cavity of a home

Picture of a termite nest in a wall cavity - FUMAPEST Inspector, Michael DuBois examines a large above-ground termite nest built inside a wall cavity of a home.

Termites build such nests where moisture collects inside the wall cavity, from leaking pipes, shower recess, faulty guttering and down-pipes.

Your best protection is to arrange for a Termite Inspection and Report to Australian Standard 3660, including written specifications for a complete Termidor soil barrier treatment, where practicable, to protect your home. Prevention is better than cure.

Where live Termite activity is found Fumapest will install especially designed termite bait stations containing the Nemesis brand termite bait. We closely monitor at 2 to 3 weekly intervals the stations to assess bait consumption and replenish bait therein.

Nemesis termite bait contains an IGR insect growth regulator that prevents the worker termite from regrowing it's external skeleton after moulting. Worker termites ingesting the bait will feed partly digested timber and the bait to other termites in the central nest. Termites cannibalise other dead termites thereby hastening elimination of the entire colony ... more details.

Premise or Termidor - the best LONG TERM termite control solutions

Both have been extensively tested in Australia and USA and if correctly applied to AS 3660 will provide reliable 100% long term termite protection - in most situations.

Premise and Termidor are used for treatment of soil at the base of a building to prevent termite entry into the building - exhibits a delayed transfer effect - can eliminate termite nests in and around the building - providing more than 5 years protection if applied correctly as a complete termite barrier to AS3660 ... more details

Why it's important to know about termites

WARNING: Termite damage to a building or other timber structures can be severe and your home insurance does NOT cover the repair costs. Termites are known to destroy roofing and wall framing timbers within a few months in the Illawarra region.

We recommend you read the Local Termites section of this web-site to help you assess your property's level of risk, and to select which termite control methods will best protect your property.

Alternative termite control methods aim at exploiting certain behavioural characteristics of subterranean termites in varying types of building situations. Click here re termites in the Wollongong NSW region
