The 3 Pillars of Control
Effective termite management isn't just about chemicals. It requires an integrated approach.
1. Prevention
Stopping termites before they enter. This involves physical barriers (Trithor, Kordon) during construction and chemical zones for existing homes.

Regular inspections using thermal imaging and moisture meters. Early detection can reduce repair costs from $50,000+ to zero.

Eliminating the colony using baiting systems or non-repellent chemicals (Termidor) so they don't return.

Simple changes make a big difference.
Designing for Resistance
Termites love moisture and wood contact. By altering the environment around your home, you can naturally deter them.
- ✓
Fix Leaks Immediately
Repair leaking taps, A/C overflow, and downpipes. Termites need moisture.
- ✓
Clear Slab Edges
Keep 75mm of your concrete slab edge exposed. Do not cover weep holes with garden beds or mulch.
