Of all the pests that enter your home the most unwanted is the subterranean termite.

Each year termites damage more homes than both fire and storms combined. 1 in 3 homes will be attacked by termites. As termites forage for food below the soil, they often gain access to a home from the sub floor area, slab edge or timber structure attached to the house.

All Creepy Crawlies Pest Control termite treatments are carried out in strict accordance to the Australian Standard AS 3660/1995.
As current termite formulations are designed to be more friendly to the environment, they break down under normal environmental conditions.

The barrier treatment should be reapplied every five (5) years at the clients expense to ensure maximum protection to the property.
As no property can ever be totally safe from termite attack a six (6) monthly maintenance program is recommended to continue the Creepy Crawlies Pest Control service warranty.

This warranty covers a full inspection of the property and a written report is given notifying the client on the conditions of the sub floor,
roof void, and interior timbers for the presence of termites. The report also notifies of timber fence condition, sub floor moisture and ventilation, and any other points that may be conducive to termite attack.

Below are some of the most common causes of termite attack to homes and some hints on how to minimise letting them eat yours.

1. The closer that the house is to the ground the higher the risk of termite attack.

2. The higher the exterior soil levels are the greater the termite risk, Therefore if the exterior soil, pavers, paths or gardens are above the slab level the termite risk is exceptionally high.

3. Contrary to popular belief, concrete slab constructions are far more susceptible to termite attack than suspended timber flooring homes built of the ground.

4. A steep slopping block adds greatly to the risk of termites as soil movement can provide termites with easier access into the building.

5. The more alterations/extensions a house has the greater the risk of termites due to joints between concrete slabs, engaged piers, foundation walls butting together etc.

6. The more moisture their is in or around the house the greater the risk of termites. Improving sub floor ventilation can play a major part in reducing the risk of termite attack.
