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.
The animal with the largest brain in proportion to its body size is the ant.

Cockroaches can hold their breath for 40 minutes.
INSPECTIONS AND REPORTS
The Inspections Report
During the Inspection our technician takes notes of what he/she sights and our Office Staff produce a typewritten report. The Report is approximately 10 pages and contains a brief description on the property and the areas we inspected.
We also advise why we have not inspected certain areas and areas of high risk where access must be gained. The presence or absence of Termites (including the species if active) is also reported on as is the presence or absence of Borers and Wood Decay.
Finally we provide details of potential problems and remedial action which is necessary and costs associated with any work which we recommend that we perform. Some recommendations may need to be costed by other trades, e.g. plumbers, carpenters, etc.
Equipment That We Use
All competent Termite Specialists use most of their Senses:
Sight- Obvious areas (to the trained eye) where there is damage, mud oozing out of cracks, timber which is damaged, swollen or disturbed, doors which don't fit properly or paint or timber which is discoloured.
Sound- Termites make a specific noise when agitated and once heard it is a case of never forgotten.
Smell- Termites generate methane gas. This is odourless, however because of the amount of moisture usually associated with reasonable quantities of termites there is usually odour generated by mould and rotting timber.
Feel- Damage can usually be felt. Either because of unevenness, weakness in timber or plaster or moisture from their workings.
In addition we also use a range of equipment which includes:
