What termite control methods do we use on the Gold Coast?
We take the best of the best to customize a system to suit you
You may notice that we have not rated any individual Gold Coast termite control product as a 5 star stand alone termite product, here’s why.
Our years of extensive on the job termite control experience has found that our competitors recommendations for your termite control on the Gold Coast are based mostly around their commercial relationship with a prefered manufacturer or supplier that allows them to get volume rebates and discounts on a particular product rather than taking into account the many factors of what is best for your situation.
For example all monitoring and baiting systems rely on one active ingredient or formulation to control a wide range of termite species in South Australia, however as all Adelaide termite species behaviour and nesting habits are individual, this rigid approach is not always successful on the Gold Coast.
So what do we do different?
After a thorough assessment of your Gold Coast property, taking into account, the climate of your Gold Coast property, the surrounds of your area, termite species in your area, construction methods of your home, your budget expectations and many other factors only then will we put forward our termite management plan.
