As summer starts to heat up you will find that fleas will be jumping all over the place.
Identifying a flea infestation can often be simple, while eradicating their population proves much more difficult. Observe your pet's behaviour as a first step: if your pet is scratching excessively, you should examine his or her fur. Infested animals have reddened skin and may lose hair. The hind quarters of dogs and the head and neck of cats are most commonly targeted.
Are you looking for peace of mind and having your termite damage covered by an insurance policy.
Don't be surprised to find that your current building insurance does not cover you for structural damage caused by termites. It's a big worry especially considering that Australia has the most destructive termites in the world. The one way to put your mind at ease is to protect your home and finances before disaster strikes.
A recent survey shows that 1 in every 3 homes is attacked by termites at some stage in its life. But, while your home is insured against damage by fire, you’ll almost certainly find that your home insurance policy excludes termite damage. No other plan will give you this level of financial security.

Kings and queens, the most commonly known forms of reproductive termites, produce highly complex underground societies.
Termites are among the most captivating of all insects because of their fascinating societies. Humans choose to build structures out of termite food, and we have a hard time viewing them as anything but disturbing pests when they dine on those structures. But beyond their diet and its interference with our own society, the intrigue of a termite society is remarkable. Understanding the organisation and reproductive biology of termite colonies gives us insights into control strategies and realities and allows us to better cure your problem.

Drywood Termites
Termites which live in dry timber, and are adapted to obtaining their water requirements from wood in which they live. They do not have contact with the soil. They are extremely slow acting. One species, Cryptotermes Brevis spp., "The West Indian Dry Wood Termite" is an exotic (imported) insect. Department of Primary Industry must be notified if Cryptotermes Brevis spp. are identified so that a specialised treatment can be arranged. The major local variety, Cryptotermes primus spp. can be treated in a simpler manner.
Treatment Methods Available: Treatment for Drywood Termites other than Cryptotermes Brevis spp. involves the spraying of the unpainted side of attacked timber with a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, which is mixed with an oil base to maximise penetration into the timbers. Painted timbers need to be injected around attacked areas. Drywood Termite treatments should be performed once each five years. Treatment for Cryptotermes Brevis spp. involves covering of the structure with tenting and introducing a fumigant gas. This work would be co-ordinated by Department of Primary Industries.
