During our assessment we will:

  • Listen to your concerns
  • Look at the construction methods of your property
  • Assess the termite pressure on your property
  • Gather information to formulate a termite management plan with the products and methods that we believe best serves your needs
  • Discuss the termite management plan and costs to perform the work

Using the latest termite detection technology, our highly-skilled pest control team will conduct a thorough inspection of your property in accordance with the Australian Standard 3660.

During our termite inspection we will:

  • Inspect all accessible areas such as, roof void, subfloors, garden, internal, external, trees.
  • Inspect for live termites
  • Inspect for termite damage and workings
  • Inspect for termite conducive conditions
  • Take images of issues found
  • Compile and document all findings into an easy to read report
  • Discuss the inspection findings and report in detail with you

EcoPest Group above-ground termite stations are fitted in areas where termite activity has been located.

If termites have been identified, temporary above-ground stations will be installed to begin colony elimination.

The benefits of baiting termite with above ground stations are:

  • Above ground termite stations eliminate the colony
  • They provide an alternative food source over the timber in your property
  • They target and eliminate termites at the source
  • They often reduce the need to find termite entry points
  • Above ground termite stations provide bait to enable termites to feed back to the central nest

Tamper-resistant pre-baited monitoring stations will then be installed around your home. These pre-baited termite stations will either be in the ground or concrete, as well as known termite foraging areas, containing timber interceptors and a pre-baited termite tablet, acting as 24/7 termite control and an early warning system against termite attack.

EcoPest Group in ground and concrete termite stations:

  • Act as an early warning system against termite attack
  • Eliminate termite colonies before they attack your property
  • The Pest Aid stations have a higher termite strike rate than other on the market
  • EcoPest Group termite stations are pre-baited, ready, and active 24/7
  • Reduce the termite pressure on your property
  • Eliminate a wide variety of termite species
  • The safest form of termite control
  • Are the most environmentally friendly termite control

EcoPest Group will routinely inspect the above and in-ground stations for termite activity. The Termite Bait Matrix will be replenished as required, and the effect it has on the termites will be documented.

The benefits of frequent termite station monitoring are:

  • Act as an early warning system against termite attack
  • Ensuring the right bait matrix is right for the termite species present
  • Allows us to ensure stations are kept in the optimal condition for termite detection
  • Keeps the correct amount of bait up to the termites to ensure colony elimination
  • The Pest Aid stations have a higher termite strike rate than others on the market
  • We can monitor and document an active termite nest, until colony elimination
  • Reduces the likelihood of unnecessary further damage to your property
  • Ensures we don’t miss a strike on the stations
  • Ensure we eliminate a colony not suppress it
Dead termites

Once we are satisfied that the colony has been eliminated we will conduct a series of test to ensure termite colony elimination as below.

To ensure termite colony elimination our termite experts will:

  • Perform reduction moisture tests
  • Open termite damage and workings to check for live termites
  • Perform microwave movement tests with specialized equipment
  • View termite bait consumption history to ensure adequate termite bait has been consumed
  • Where possible spot treat and seal entry points to impede future termite attack

Termite Baiting & Monitoring Systems

Termite baiting and monitoring systems are designed to intercept foraging / feeding termites and termite colonies in a safe non toxic and non invasive way.

There are several brands of termite baiting and monitoring systems currently registered for use in Australia, while the manufacturers of the system often choose to use various active ingredients the stations and bait work in a similar manner, some of these system are listed below,

The Inground and inconcrete termite baiting and monitoring stations are commonly installed at 3 metre intervals around the external of all structures requiring protection as well as areas of known termite foraging, this acts as an early warning system to enable our termite experts to eliminate termites and termite colonies before they attack structures and cause damage. Above ground termite bait stations are used where active termites are found within structures.

Termite baiting and monitoring systems take advantage of insect growth regulator (IGR) technology, termites transfer the highly attractive bait food source to other termites within the colony, until all the termites including the queen are eliminated.

Inactive stations are commonly inspection 12 weekly while active stations are monitored 4-12 weekly depending on the termite species, time of year and health of the colony.

What is the average costs to install a Termite Baiting & Monitoring System?

The cost to a install a termite baiting and monitoring system can vary depending on the system type, amount of stations required and level of activity present.

Here is a rough price guide on an average non active 60 lineal metre home.

  •  60 metres around the house would require around 20 pre-baited stations, 20 x $95 = $1900.00
  • A termite inspection of the property with a written report = $250.00
  • Quarterly station baiting and inspections = $175.00 per visit
  • Annual service costs average $700

 

Pro’s & Con’s of termite baiting & monitoring systems

PRO’S

  • Very low failure rates when installed and serviced by an expert
  • Ideal in sensitive situations
  • Much safer and less toxic than liquid chemical soil barriers
  • No need to vacate the property
  • Much better option for the environment
  • Unlike liquid chemical barriers there is no need to cut up internal timber floors
  • Proven colony control
  • Ideal where all other methods have failed
  • Early warning of foraging termites before they attack
  • Make location of termite entry points less important
  • Last the life time of the structure if maintained correctly

CON’S 

  • Require ongoing service
  • Require highly skilled experts in case of active termites
  • Can be costly to maintain with some installers

Liquid termite chemical barriers are applied to the soil in an attempt to stop termites entering or attacking structures.

There are many brands of liquid termiticides with several currently registered for use in Australia, while the manufacturers of the products often choose to use various active ingredients, the products are usually broken down into 2 groups as below.

Non repellent liquid termite barriers are designed to allow the termites into the treated soil zone and kill them shortly after contact with the termite poison.

Repellent liquid termite barriers are designed to termites from the treated soil zone and kill them on contact or send them away from the termite poison.

Liquid termite barriers are applied to internal and external concrete areas by drilling holes between 200 – 300mm apart and high pressure injecting under the concrete, non concrete external areas are trenched, sprayed, backfilled and sprayed again, subfloor areas are often treated via traps cut to access the subfloor of each into room.

 

What is the average costs to apply a liquid termite chemical barrier?

The cost to a install a liquid termite chemical barrier can vary depending on the chemical type, amount of area to cover and level of activity present.

Here is a rough price guide on an average non active 60 lineal metre concrete slab home.

  •  With a non repellent termiticide, drilling and or trenching and spraying 60 metres around the house would cost around $1900.00
  • With a repellent termiticide, drilling and or trenching and spraying 60 metres around the house would cost around $1200.00
  • A termite inspection of the property with a written report = ~$250.00
  • Annual inspection to maintain any treatment warranties would costs $250.00 – $700.00

 

Pro’s & Con’s of termite liquid chemical barriers

PRO’S

  • Often a quicker fix
  • On-going costs can be cheaper
  • Less maintenance than baiting and monitoring systems

CON’S

  • Much more toxic than termite IGR baits
  • Very little effect or any on the colony unless the nest is found
  • Failure rates are often higher than baiting and monitoring systems
  • Requires cutting into timber floors where subfloors are not accessible
  • Often very difficult to apply a full complete barrier
  • Not good for the environment
  • Occupants should vacate premises
  • Can be ineffective if location of termite entry points are not found
  • Need to be reapplied between 5- 10 years

Termite Control FAQs

While there are DIY termite control products available, it is highly recommended you seek professional termite removal instead.

  • There is no guarantee that the DIY products will work and
  • You could risk making the termite problem worse

Termites are attracted to dark, warm, and moist areas where they can eat, live and start a nest. This could be inside the walls of your house.

  • Extra firewood you’ve stored near your home or beneath wooden floorboards
  • Poor building practices
  • Water leaks

The best way to get rid of termites is to get professional termite control.

  • Install the EcoPest Group pre-baited termite stations that are designed to intercept foraging termites
  • Have an EcoPest Group termite Expert begin a termite colony elimination program
  • Create a termite security system around your home with the EcoPest Group termite stations
  • Have EcoPest Group routinely monitor and check your home for termite attack

The cost to install a termite baiting and monitoring system can vary depending on the system type, the number of stations required and the level of activity present

Here is a rough price guide for an average non-active 60 linear metre home:

  •  60 metres around the house would require around 20 pre-baited stations, 20 x $95 = $1900.00
  • An initial termite inspection of the property with a written report = $250.00
  • Quarterly station baiting and inspections also include an annual termite inspection = $175.00 per visit/quarter.
  • Annual service costs $250.00 – $800.00

NO, spraying termites yourself will:

  • Make the situation worse
  • Make baiting more difficult
  • Drive them into other areas

The best way to get rid of termites is through an EcoPest Group termite control Expert.

  • Once an experienced EcoPest Group termite expert has assessed your situation, they’ll provide you with a termite management plan
  • Tailored-made treatment plans via colony baiting are the best way to eliminate termites
