Here are some of the weekly
termite tips we have used in our Local Quest community newspapers
advertising. The response to our adds has been very positive. Please read
through them and take a few minutes to check for these conducive
conditions around your own home. It amazes me how many people forget about
old tree stumps in their yard which could possibly be the sources of
termite problems. If you find termites during your home owners check
please feel free to call our 'Talk to a Tech' line where you can ask a
trained Termite Technician for helpful advice. It's a free service that we
provide for home owners. Our quotes are free and we don't have any high
pressure salesmen to scare you into unwanted treatments.

Termites must have
moisture or they will die. Repair all leaks. Our inspectors use moisture
meters to detect termites in walls.
The idea is to keep termites as far away as possible. Don’t encourage them
by providing food close to your home.
Dripping taps, hot water systems and air-con runoff beside walls will
attract termites.
Plumbers are cheaper than Termite Treatments!!
Australian Standards recommend at least annual termite inspections. How
long could termites have been in your walls?
Termites often nest in tree stumps and under old sleepers. Are there any
stumps and sleepers in your yard.
Take a few minutes and have a look!!
Brisbane has experienced a small termite boom since the recent rains. Take
a few minutes to check your skirting boards and architraves for signs of
damage. Not sure what to look for? We have a tech waiting for your call.
Poor ventilation and drainage under homes is a major cause of termite
issues. Drain storm water away from walls. Install powered vents if
necessary.
Thinking of selling your home? Make sure it’s free of problems before the
buyers inspectors turn up. A few termites in you yard or home and you can
kiss the buyers goodbye. Call us for your pre-purchase or pre-sale
inspections.
Landscaping timbers look great, especially to Termites!
If they’re not treated, consider dumping them, or get them off the ground.
Remove all stumps by stump grinding.
