Termite Control

At Sunshine Coast Pest Control Ltd in line with I.P.M. regulations we offer three different termite control solutions:

• Monitoring
• Maintenance and Wood Restoration
• Chemical intervention

Monitoring

PESTICIDE FREE SOLUTION -  ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE

If you live in an area of the Sunshine Coast which unfortunately has Western Subterranean Termites (see Pest Hot Spots by Area) we recommend that you install termite monitors even if you have never seen a termite swarm. The termite monitors are easy to install and can be inspected by the home owner or by one of our technicians.

As with most pests, the best way to prevent unwanted subterranean termite activity is to keep your home well maintained and sanitary.  Fix water leaks and drainage problems promptly, avoid storing or placing wood, cardboard or paper on the ground in, around or beneath your home.

If you are the least bit suspicious or know you have a problem, we advise that you have your home or place of business checked by one of Sunshine Coast Pest Control Ltd highly qualified pest control consultants.  They can readily advise you on the best course of action based on your personal needs and have ready access to the latest technology and the most experienced termite expert on the Sunshine Coast. Our company Entomologist has been dealing with termite infestations for over 25 years!

Maintenance and Wood Restoration

PESTICIDE FREE SOLUTION -  ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE

Although it can be difficult and in some cases impossible, to prevent subterranean termites from entering a structure, efforts to do so are encouraged.  As previously mentioned, good sanitation and maintenance practices are cornerstone in preventing unwanted termite activity. Avoid all wood to soil contact using anything but cellulose containing objects for landscape or other exterior applications.  Address water problems quickly and caulk or otherwise seal all expansion joints; pipe, drain, electrical and vent chases and any and all other openings in slabs, sidewalks, driveways and skim coats.

If we do determine that a termite treatment is necessary, we recommend that after treatment, the extent of the termite damaged wood is investigated. This is known as wood restoration and termite damaged wood that is part of the structural integrity of the building should be replaced with treated lumber (or treated with an insecticide.

Chemical Intervention

All termite infestations must be treated to protect the investment in your home or building.

At Sunshine Coast Pest Control Ltd we offer five levels of termite treatment programs to suit all budgets:

Spot Treatment (*)

• Spot treating only the affected area with a low toxicity pesticide.

Bronze Treatment (*)

• Our bronze treatment is designed to provide the basic level of treatment and protection for a structure. Concentrating on the exterior of the structure, we carry out a foam treatment in the walls  and all of the ground immediately outside the structure with a low toxicity pesticide.

Silver Treatment (*)

• With our Silver treatment, we extend the bronze treatment and protection of the exterior of the property to include some interior walls. We also upgrade the pesticide used to treat the ground immediately outside and include the installation of termite monitoring stations.

Gold Treatment (*)

• This is a superior treatment where all walls are treated. In addition, we treat the ground both within and outside the structure on either side of all of the footings and install exterior termite monitoring stations around the structure. These stations will be monitored periodically over the duration of the guarantee.

Platinum Treatment (*)

• This is our premium service and provides the best coverage for your home now and for future years. Please contact us at Sunshine Coast Pest Control Ltd for details.

(*) Guarantees and Warrantees vary with each termite program.

The Manufacturers Data Sheet (MSDS) and Product label for an insecticide to be applied to your property can be found on our Health & Safety page.
