Termites Information and do I need white ant baits in Australia?

The White Ant (better known as termites) are famous around the world as the number one enemy of the household. This pest is one that you have probably heard of on multiple occasions. White ant is another name for the termite, an insect which forms large colonies within the ground and commonly feeds on various types of wood. With a small, soft and pale body, they are known for the costly damage they can cause to structures by eating away at structural timber while remaining undetected.

While there are only a small number of species of termite that cause this damage out of many hundreds, the important termites information is that they cause more than 90% of economic damage to homes. This has been estimated to cost Australia 1.3 billion dollars per annum with the average repair bill costing around $7000 per home.

Most important termites information is we know how to remove them!

One obstacle in past research into termite bait and control has been the difference in their behaviour in a controlled environment (science lab) when compared with their usual habitat. Because our team of experts have had decades of experience dealing with termites in Australia’s homes, we have gained much more valuable termite information about how to effectively eradicate them.
