The Treatment Process
Inspection & Assessment
We confirm the termite activity, identify the species and assess the extent of the problem.
Treatment Plan
We recommend the best treatment approach for your property — baiting, barrier, or direct treatment.
Treatment Application
We carry out the treatment professionally and safely, following the agreed plan.
Follow-Up Inspection
We return to confirm the colony has been eliminated and advise on ongoing protection.
How to Prepare
- Do not disturb any mud tubes or termite workings — this can cause termites to retreat
- Ensure access to the treatment area
- Move furniture and stored items away from external walls if possible
- Secure pets during treatment
- Follow any specific instructions we provide for your treatment type
What to Expect Afterwards
After treatment, we'll arrange a follow-up inspection to confirm the colony has been eliminated. We'll provide documentation of the treatment and advise on ongoing protection. The time frame for full colony elimination depends on the treatment method and the extent of the infestation.
