Termite Control
Our termite control services specialise in detection, eradication, and prevention using advanced methods like chemical barriers and baiting systems. We conduct thorough inspections to identify infestations early, ensuring long-term protection for homes and businesses. Our team utilises Termatrac Radar and thermal imaging to locate hidden termite activity, providing tailored solutions that are safe for families and pets.
Pest Control
We offer comprehensive pest control for common invaders like cockroaches, spiders, ants, rats, and wasps. Our eco-friendly treatments target infestations at their source, using safe yet effective methods to eliminate pests and prevent recurrence. Services cover residential, commercial, and industrial properties, with 24/7 emergency response available for urgent situations.
Termite Inspections
Regular termite inspections are critical for early detection and prevention. Our technicians perform detailed assessments of properties, checking for signs of termite activity in foundations, walls, and wooden structures. Inspections include moisture detection and perimeter checks, ensuring potential risks are identified and addressed promptly to avoid costly damage.
Chemical Barriers
Chemical barriers create a protective zone around properties to deter subterranean termites. We install long-lasting barriers using trusted termiticides like Termidor and Premise, which repel or eliminate termites on contact. These barriers are applied during construction or retrofitted to existing homes, offering up to eight years of protection when properly maintained.
Baiting Systems
Baiting systems target termite colonies directly, using poisoned bait to eliminate infestations at their source. Strategically placed monitoring stations attract termites, which then carry the bait back to their colony. This method is highly effective for eradicating large nests and is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional chemical treatments, minimising environmental impact.
Questions
What are the most common signs of a termite infestation?
Common signs include mud tubes on walls, discarded wings from swarmers, hollow-sounding wood, and damaged timber structures. Contact us immediately if you notice these indicators.
How can I differentiate between termites and ants?
Termites have straight antennae and equal-length wings, while ants have elbowed antennae and longer front wings. Our team can confirm the species during an inspection.
Can I treat a termite infestation myself?
DIY treatments are ineffective for severe infestations. Professional services ensure complete eradication using advanced methods and equipment not available to the public.
How long does a termite chemical barrier last?
A properly installed chemical barrier lasts five to eight years, depending on soil conditions and the termiticide used. Regular inspections maintain its effectiveness.
Are termite control chemicals safe for pets and children?
When applied by professionals, termite chemicals are safe. We follow strict guidelines and explain safety measures to ensure your family's well-being during treatment.
How often should I have my home inspected for termites?
Annual inspections are recommended to detect early signs of infestation. Regular checks prevent extensive damage and ensure ongoing protection for your property.

I have been using Me Buggs for over 5 years. He is just AMAZING! quality and professional service every time. The price is fantastic at the level of work he does and seeing no bugs, spiders and cockroaches in the home for 6 months is brilliant! Especially for you have pets and children, the chemicals are safe too
