FUMAPEST uses the safer, most effective products

Safety first: Recently a new range of pest control products have entered the marketplace, including hi-tech baits for the control of termites, cockroaches and ants. Although much safer to use in and around the home these products require a far higher level of skill to ensure an effective result.

For termite control Fumapest uses the safer and most effective products commercially available in Australia, such as Termidor and Premise termite soil treatment chemicals and the Nemesis termite baiting system. These products and various alternatives are discussed in detail in the Termite Control section of this website.

Termites attack 1 in 3 homes in the Sydney Metropolitan Area

Termites - a major worry: Recent industry surveys suggest about one in three homes will suffer a termite infestation in the Sydney Metropolitan Area. To make matters worse your home insurance policy will NOT cover the damage which may involve costly replacement of structural timbers.

termites can build a sub-nest in a wall cavity of a home

Picture of a termite nest in wall cavity with FUMAPEST Inspector, Michael DuBois examining a large above-ground termite nest built inside a wall cavity of a home.

Termites build such nests, where moisture collects inside the wall cavity - from leaking pipes - shower recess - faulty guttering and down-pipes.

Your best protection is to arrange for a FUMAPEST Termite Inspection Report to AS 3660 - includes a thorough inspection of the buildings and surrounds - an analysis of high risk termite entry points inaccessible to inspection - written specifications for a complete Termidor or Premise soil barrier treatment, where practicable, to protect your home or commercial building.

If live termite activity is found FUMAPEST Sydney Pest Control can install EcoSafe Termite Bait Stations containing Nemesis Temite Bait. We closely monitor the stations at 2 to 3 weekly intervals in order to assess bait consumption levels and replenish the bait in the stations as and when required.

Nemesis Termite Bait - insect growth regulator - prevents regrowth of termites external skeleton after moulting - an essential part of their life-cycle - the IGR is slow acting - worker termites ingesting the bait feed partly digested timber and the Nemesis termite bait to other termites in the central colony - possibly the queen termite - with the eradication of the entire termite colony ..... more details.

Premise or Termidor - the best LONG TERM termite control solutions


		Reliable 100% termite protection: The new hi-tech termite control products approved for use against termites in Australia and USA are Premise and Termidor termiticides. Extensively tested Termidor and Premise if correctly applied to AS 3660 will provide reliable 100% termite protection in vast majority of situations.

		Soil treatment Termidor and Premise is applied to soil at the base of a building to prevent termite entry into the building - and by a delayed transfer effect can eliminate termite nests in and around the building. Both products provide more than 5 years protection if applied correctly as a complete termite barrier to AS3660 ... more details.

Why it's important to know about termites

WARNING: Subterranean termite infestation and damage to a building and other timber structures can be severe. To make matters worse - your building and home home insurance policy does NOT cover the repair costs. Termites are known to destroy the wall and roofing timbers of a home within a few months.

We recommend you read the Termites section of this web-site to help you assess the risk and to select which of thge termite control options best protect your property.
