Termites – Information, Inspections and Treatments
Termites are generally considered the number one pest for homeowners, due to the damage they cause to property. It’s commonly quoted that in Australia alone, termites cause $1 billion in damage to buildings. But whatever the figure, it’s big. And if your home is under attack from termites, it’s understandable if you are concerned.
Here at Professional Pest Manager, we provide all you need to know about termites and how to protect your home. We provide information and videos on termites and how to protect your home from termite attack, explain what’s involved in a professional termite inspection and describe the different termite treatments available.
It’s also important to understand the importance of a pre-purchase timber inspection before buying a home to check for termites, borers and wood decay, and also be aware of the regulations and need for termite protection when building a new home or carrying out renovations.

Pests in the News
At this time of year ants are causing big problems for homeowners and businesses. Before carrying out a treatment, even pest professionals need to know what types of ant are causing the problem. But the big ant news at the moment is the expansion of the fire ant problem into New South Wales. Although fire ants are currently confined to south east Queensland and northern NSW, they have the potential to invade many parts of Australia and change our way of live. Learn more about how to identify fire ants and where fire ants are found in Australia.
