This is a question you might be asking if you have recently installed or are looking to install a perimeter soil treatment (aka chemical barrier). A chemical barrier really is the best way to protect your home against termites and since no home insurance covers termite damage or a termite attack it is the only way to cover yourself should a costly termite attack occur. One of the reasons chemical barriers are so good is because they carry a warranty that is backed by our insu

Just last week we were called to to Kedron for one of the worst termite attacks we've seen all year. Our tech had reached the front door when he found the first of many fat mud leads heading into the Kedron Queenslander. Upon inspecting, our technician noted a severe termite infestation throughout the sub floor and internal timbers including the door frames, skirting boards and window frame. The termites had worked their way up from the sub floor through the frame timbers r

We recently treated an investment house in the Wakerley, Gumdale area that had termites in a bathroom wall. The termites have created an estimated $7500 -$8500 damage repair bill for the owner. This house was inspected for termites by Results Home Services, three years in a row. In our reports we noted that this house was at a very high risk of a termite attack and had no current termite protection. What happened next is very typical of home owner’s response: after 3 years of

Termites are invading many Brisbane homes. If your home is a brick or block home, or your home is on a concrete slab, then the risk of a termite attack is very high. What most people do not realise is that a brick home can often be at more risk of a termite attack than an old Queenslander built on wooden posts. Brick houses on concrete slabs may seem to be impenetrable to termites (white ants); however, concrete and brick houses are not difficult for termites to enter. The

Now winter has officially set in most people push termites to the back of their minds thinking that termites aren't really active at the moment. The truth of the matter is the warmer than usual autumn we've just come through means termites are more active that usual at this time of year. Winter is actually a great time of year to do work around the house especially in Brisbane. It's not too hot and it's a low period for builders, plumbers, carpet cleaners, tilers and pest con

The trick to reducing the number of termites in your neighbourhood or on your property is to remove some of the things that make life easier for termites. Some of the DIY termite action plans that you can do to protect your home from termites are very simple and common sense, like fixing a leaking tap and removing old timber/stumps from your property. A termite’s basic needs are the same as ours:- food, water and shelter. DIY TERMITE ACTION PLAN Remove food source for the ter

With termite season in full swing you may be considering installing a perimeter soil treatment (aka chemical barrier) around your home. A chemical barrier is the best way to protect your home from a subterranean termite attack but the big question remains, which termiticide (termite poison) do you choose? When installing a chemical barrier you will need to consider your termiticide (termite poison) of choice. There are so many choices out there these days but Altriset should

The swarms of flying "bugs" that are dancing around your lights in the early evening in the last week or so are more than likely alates termites. Millions of termites are leaving their mud nests with one mission, establish a new termite nest and your home could provide the perfect place for the new king and queen termites to establish their new empires. Alates termites are the reproductive king and queen of an already established termite colony. Unlike the worker and the sol

The weather this last week has been perfect for flying termites, or more affectionately known in the pest controlling community as "swarmers". Swarmers or flying termites are the new kings and queens of subterranean termite nests taking to the skies looking to find a mate and start a new colony. Many Brisbane home owners have spotted these flying termites around this weekend, perhaps you have too! Alates are the technical name for the flying termites and they usually take fli

Owning your own home isn't referred to as the "great Australian dream" for nothing. Home ownership means financial security and stability for the future. A home is many things, a place to live, a place to raise a family (furry or not!) and a place to invest and save for the future. Our homes are likely to to be our greatest asset; so here are four great reasons to have current and up to date termite protection in the form of a chemical barrier. 1. Protection Having a chemical

Right about this time of year you may start to see flying termites or alates. These are breeding kings and queens from a nearby termite nest looking to start a new colony. Flying termites or alates are light brown in colour and have four wings of the same size, usually over 10mm long. Termite swarms are very common and usually happen late spring or early summer, frequently before or after a thunderstorm. Termites love moisture and humidity which is why they prefer to travel w
