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.

The strongest termite control guarantee.
The latest control technologies applied by our technicians.
Who qualifies for the plan?
Most homes that accept a full termite barrier that has been installed by our company.
At the time of the treatment all termite activity is treated.
Any conducive conditions to termites that are noted are rectified within 90 days of treatment.
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.
Dusting or Foaming Treatments are usually the 'First Stage' of a 'Two Stage' Treatment with the second stage being the placement of a Chemical Barrier into the ground to impede further attack.
If you elect to carry out a limited treatment involving Dusting or Foaming without the second stage barrier being installed then the dusting or foaming is likely to be ineffective.
Whilst the dust or the termiticide contained in the foam can eventually result in eliminating the particular termite colony which is infesting your premises at the time, the process is extremely slow and can take 6 months or possibly longer to achieve this result. Foaming is the better option because the foam penetrates further than dust and also fills all cracks and crevices for five hours or more. Dust on the other hand is only present in the spaces in galleries and workings a short time after the dust has been "pulled in". Therefore, dust has no chance of being as effective as foam.
The process is also dependent on treating 2,000 or more termites at the time of application of the dust or foam and will involve a number of dusting and foaming applications. For this reason, the cost can be nearly as expensive as having a full Two Stage Treatment.
The benefit of a Two Stage Treatment is that on completion of the work a chemical barrier is placed around the structure versus a Dusting or Foaming where only the activity is treated and there is no ongoing residual barrier to protect from attack by other termite colonies in the area.
Dusting or Foaming is also a limited process. At the time that our proposal is put forward to you we will nominate the number of visits we will make and the cost. Beyond that there is no ongoing free service provided. If you find evidence of further termite activity, even in the same area where we have previously dusted or foamed, there will be additional service costs to treat that activity.
There is no easy way to treat termites. Partial treatments are just that. They may work - but invariably termites will recur in the area where the original infestation was apparent.
