No Property Is Safe From Termites!
Independent government data compiled by State Forests shows 1 in every 5 homes is attacked by termites at some stage in its life.

But, while your home is insured against damage by fire, you'll almost certainly find that your home insurance policy excludes termite damage. This is due to the great extent of the termite problem in Australia, and the difficulties in protecting against attack.

How Termites Attack Your Home
The most destructive species live in large underground nests containing several million timber destroying insects.

Your home provides natural shelter and a food source for the termites. They'll travel up to 100 metres to enter your home where there is a smorgasboard of timber to feast upon. Even concrete slabs don't act as a barrier; they can enter through joints or cracks in the slab, as well as through pipe penetrations, to gain access to your home. They even build mud tubes to gain access to above ground timbers.

A Thorough Approach Is Essential To Protecting Your Home
Your Timbersure Termite Protection Program needs to be tailored to suit your home. A complete treatment program is divided into two parts.

STAGE ONE
Inspection And Colony Control Measures
Your program commences with a thorough inspection and written report. This forms the foundation of all successful termite protection programs. It involves gaining access to areas where termites may be active and checking all the visible timbers in your property if the termites haven't been disturbed, then tiny amounts of a termite control dust may be used to control the colony.

The use of termite bait stations for the detection and control of future activity may also be implemented.

Any recommendations made on environmental modifications to minimise termite activity also need to be implemented. This includes improving ventilation and drainage and the removal of items that attract termites to your home.

STAGE TWO
Provision Of A Treated Zone
This involves the formation of a Treated Zone in the soil around and under your home, using a Government approved termiticide. This will disorientate termites attacking your home in the future and provide a barrier against termite attack.

Timbersure Can Safely Protect Your Home For A Lifetime

Termites are great at camouflage, so their presence is not always immediately obvious. Termite barriers may be damaged by digging in the garden or making extensions to your home. This makes it imperative that your home is inspected at least annually. Following this inspection, and the completion of any recommendations, you can renew your Timbersure Warranty every year for the life of your home.

Don't Take Chances!!!!
Termite inspection and control is a job for skilled professionals. The very extensive Australian Standard. As 3660 ( Termite Management), deals with the problem. Yet frequently it is not followed. Some 'pest controllers', while claiming to follow the Standard, cut corners.

They don't apply control agents at the correct rates, often they only perform a partial treatment, or worse still, they don't use careful safety procedures. This frequently makes their price look very attractive - but you may be left with many more problems.

With modern termite control agents, it is absolutely essential that the right concentrations and amounts are applied, in the approved manner. And a thorough inspection to draw up a planned approach including colony location and control procedures is vital.

So while the price of some may look attractive you're likely to lose out in the long run. Termites will probably return leaving you with a lot of heartache.
