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.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Consult with us and seek our advice. We can provide you with a range of solutions some of which you could carry out yourself at little or no cost. Some of the solutions which we carry out might appear costly but when measured against the asset you are having protected then the cost is very low.
Inspections
If purchasing: It is important that the property is inspected prior to that purchase proceeding to the unconditional stage. Have the requirement for an inspection written into the contract. Liaise with us to arrange an inspection.
If you own: You should have the property checked and it should be checked annually, at least.
If you have had any termite treatment carried out, either preventive or curative, you need to have the property checked out at least once per year.
The inspection: Inspections require a systematic approach and attention to detail. During each inspection we inspect the following areas:
Grounds, landscaping, fences, exterior, interior and roof void.
During that inspection we would carry out a visual check of all exposed timbers, including skirtings, architraves to doors and windows, ceiling timbers as well as to fences, gardens and landscaping.
There is a special focus on areas close the structure/s to matters such as weep holes; closeness of gardens, plants, shrubs and trees; areas of excessive moisture; poor building practices (from a termite management point of view); bathrooms, toilets and kitchen areas, and ceiling spaces.
As an added option, at a small additional cost, we would use our Termatrac termite tracking equipment or thermal imaging camera.
