It's a scary fact that, on average, 1 in 4 houses in Australia will have either active termites or previous damage from termites somewhere in the house*. The potential for damage to your home is huge, and termite damage is not always covered by insurance.

Whether you have a current problem with termites, have previously had termite activity treated, or even if you don't know whether you have termites or not, SPM can help. With a range of options ranging from initial inspections through to termite baiting and chemical barrier treatments, we can help keep your place as 'safe as houses'.

Termite Inspections should be a regular part of any household maintenance routine, and ideally should be carried out every 12 months. Inspections allow you to keep an eye on what's going on around the place, as well as identify any changes in conducive conditions both in and around the home, and of course find termites if they're around. SPM carries out Termite Inspections on an annual basis and our renewal system means you don't have to worry about remembering each year - when the time comes, we'll send you a reminder to let you know it's time to have another look.

Inspection Reports are prepared in simple, easy to understand language and provide you with an in-depth picture of what's going on in, around and under your place. Our reports comply fully with Australian Standard AS3660.2, and are backed by the technician who writes the report - if something doesn't make sense, help is only a phonecall away. In most cases, termite inspection reports are delivered to you within 24 hours of job completion - meaning less time worrying about the results.

If you do have a termite issue that requires treatment, SPM can offer you an effective solution based on your needs, your house layout and situation. Click on the links to find out more info about various treatment methods available:

Termite Baiting is a popular method of eliminating termites and is carried out in such a way that you can get on with day to day life without having to worry about chemicals and poisons around your home and family.

SPM Wagga utilises the Ensystex Exterra® baiting system, which has the advantages of:

• effective control through the use of interception and baiting technology
• complete safety from poisons around the home - Exterra is not harmful to humans or animals
• discrete installation - no invasive or unsightly treatments
• modifying termite ecology so once they begin consumption of bait, they cannot physically attack timber
• leaving the interception system in place once the termites have been eradicated, meaning you still have an interception zone in place around the house
• backup from the company whenever needed meaning you're not alone

Termite Barrier Treatments have evolved over the years, and gone are the days of pouring thousands of litres of chemicals underneath the house and hoping for the best. SPM Wagga can implement a barrier around your home or business with no fuss and minimal inconvenience to you. Chemical barriers are, depending on the size of the property, generally completed from start to finish in one day, and if you're building or renovating we can work with you to get the job done with minimal downtime.

Termite barrier treatments are installed in accordance with AS3660.1-2000, and all technicians have current qualifications and certificates to complete the job.

Termite Monitoring Systems are becoming increasingly accepted by both professional Pest Managers and homeowners alike as an easy way to keep an eye on what is going on around your property. Typically comprised of a number of monitoring stations placed in the soil around the home or building, some monitoring system also give the owner of the property the ability to 'self-check' the system and become alerted to any termite activity around the area. Once termite activity is located in the system, a baiting agent can be introduced to eliminate the colony before it even reaches the building.
SPM Wagga utilises the Moniterm Termite Monitoring System which is developed locally here in Wagga Wagga. A very simple but effective system, Moniterms are designed by Pest Managers with many years of experience and are one of the few varities on the market that allow homeowners to check the stations regularly themselves.

Pre-Engagement Treatments or 'Pre Treats' are an important part of any new building project. Depending on council requirements, you may be required to undertake some form of pre engagement treatment before council will certify the construction. SPM Wagga can advise you on options ranging from pre-engagement chemical barrier treatments through to physical barriers.
