If you have never had an experience with termites it can be very distressing to discover them in your home or garden.

Termites travel from up to 80 metres away and they are called subterranean termite because they travel and attack from underground.

If you discover termites in your garden don’t assume they will be happy and content to leave your house alone. They will continue to forage and seek out bigger food sources as the colony grows. It is often difficult to locate the nest of a subterranean termite so performing correct treatment to eliminate the nest is imperative.

Termite interception and baiting is the primary method of control we use. It is the most effective and the safest way to eliminate the termite colony and provide ongoing protection of your home. Phone us to discuss why we often recommend this approach as opposed to high volume chemical pumping and spraying

When you find them in your home do not disturb them or spray them with an insecticide as we need live termites to transfer the treatment to the rest of the colony.

Sanctuary Pest Management are generally able to stop termites attacking your home within a couple of weeks so the sooner a treatment is started the sooner you can restore the damage and stop worrying.
