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.

Every year termites swarm looking for places to establish new colonies. It takes just two of these young winged termites to start a colony and they only need a small opening for them to get into a home. That's why every year 1 in every 3 properties have termites.
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.
As the warmer weather approaches you need to know what you are looking for and know what termite alates are.
HomeGuard is an innovative-patented Precision Termite Management System that has been developed by FMC Australasia Pty Ltd a company with a proud reputation for providing reliable Termite Management Solutions to the Australian Pest Management industry, for over 10 years.
Under the Australian Standard AS3660.1 Termite Management Part 1: New building work HomeGuard is classified as a termite barrier in a non-soil matrix and can be utilized as a chemical and/or a physical Termite Management System meeting the Performance Appraisal™ requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
HomeGuard provides a unique 3-way action to ensure protection of the structure.
Repelling termites away from the barrier
Killing termites upon contact
Acting as a physical vapour barrier and damp proofing membrane.
HomeGuard is manufactured using the same active ingredient used in FMC's core bifenthrin termiticide product - Biflex®. Incorporated uniformly throughout a polymer matrix the termiticide acts exactly the same way it does in any soil matrix, effectively killing any termites that challenge the barrier and repelling attacking termites from the protected structure.
Unlike chemical sprays, however, HomeGuard is installed in specifically targeted areas, under the slab and in the perimeter cavity during the construction of the structure. This means that the homeowner has no access or exposure to the termite barrier as it is incorporated and locked into the structure as an effective long-term termite management system.
One of the most common causes of failures in soil applied termite treatments is homeowner gardening practice. The addition of garden beds, paving and paths in the treated area effectively removes or disturbs chemically treated soil, allowing termites to breach and gain entry into the structure. HomeGuard does not use soil as the carrier matrix meaning there is less chance that homeowner activities can affect or alter the HomeGuard Termite Management System.
Common physical barrier systems like Stainless Steel Mesh and Granite chips, are passive barrier systems, designed to only impede concealed termite entry to the structure by forcing attacking termites into exposed areas, where they can be treated with a soil applied chemical treatment.
HomeGuard is a pro-active physical barrier system. It actively stops termites entering the structure via concealed access, by repelling them away from the site or by killing them if they come in contact the barrier. HomeGuard does more than a normal physical termite barrier.
