Pesticide Safety Advice |
Some of the insect pests show chemical resistance given the widespread use of these pesticides over the last 30 years. Unfortunately, the VIC pest control industry has a mixed reputation ... good and bad. Be careful in selecting a pest controller - it's far too easy to start up a pest control business in VIC and employ people using pesticides with little or no training ... more details. Further information in the Consumer Advice section of this website, including some important tips from The Australian Pest Controllers Association Inc. on selecting a professional pest controller in the Warracknabeal region. |
Termites often build such above ground nests, where moisture collects in the wall cavity from leaking pipes, shower recess, faulty guttering, etc. |

Termites rampant in Warracknabeal homes - will Yours be next? |
Recent industry surveys suggest that about one in three homes in VIC
will suffer a termite infestation. To make matters worse your
home insurance policy does NOT cover the damage which may involve
costly replacement of floor, wall and roofing timbers.
Fortunately, several new hi-tech termite control products from the USA such as, Termidor and Premise are now available in Australia which offers 100% termite protection in the vast majority of situations.
|
With Termidor or Premise, the termites cannot detect the chemical in the soil as it has no odour, taste or smell to the termites. |
Premise has a unique dual-action effect |
Termites unknowingly tunneling in the outer parts of a Premise treated soil area (of lower Premise concentration) cannot detect the Premise chemical which sticks to their bodies and has a delayed lethal effect of a few days - enough time to be transferred back to the central colony nest. The affected termites spread the Premise chemical to other termites during regular physical contact, particularly when working together in close proximity, grooming and feeding other termite colony members. Termites are an ancient insect with a 250 million year history. They have evolved a very thin waxy skin (called an exoskeleton). Premise is designed to stick to the termite and be slowly absorbed into the termite's body, in order to kill the affected termites within a few days. Termites often cannibalise or carry away other dead termites, further spreading the deadly effect of the Premise chemical to other termite colony members. Click on Premise and Termidor for further information. |
PREMISE is the lower cost effective alternative |
CONSUMER NOTE: For the homeowner with active termites in their property, we recommend you arrange for a Termite Inspection and Report, including written specifications for a complete soil treatment (where practicable) using Premise or Termidor. Where such a barrier is NOT practicable, we recommend the Exterra or Sentricon termite baiting system be installed. SAFETY ASSURED: Exterra, Premise and Termidor products are ultra-low hazard to people and are discussed in detail in the Termite Control section of this website. Termite control is a job for the specialists - that's why these products are only available for use by licensed pest controllers. |

It's IMPORTANT to know ... About Termites |
WARNING: Termite damage to a building or other timber structures can be severe and your home insurance does NOT cover the repair costs. Termites are known to attack homes in the Warracknabeal region and cause severe damage to roofing and wall framing timbers within a few months of initial infestation. |
The alternative termite control methods aim at exploiting certain behavioural characteristics of termites in varying types of building situations. Click on About Termites in VIC |
