Termite Protection - Can you sleep easy?

Termites cause $80 to $100 million worth of damage each year to Australian properties. Plus, according to State Forestry Research, 1 in every 3 homes has evidence of timber pest damage or activity.

Termites favour climates with average temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius, and high humidity. With ideal conditions in Cairns, termite activity is more prevalent here than most places in Australia.

Termite borers and wood decay fungi can severely damage a property. With most insurance policies not covering termite damage, it makes repair work a costly expense that could be avoided or minimised. At Pestaway, we are accredited with Pacific International Insurance, ensuring we have all the licenses, qualifications and experience for the work required. Making it easier for you to sleep without worrying about your property investment.

Our technicians can:

• Advise you upon the degree of risk of subterranean termite infestation on your property.
• Inform you of the areas that cannot be inspected and the potential risk from a failure to inspect.
• Give advice on conditions that are conducive to timber pest attack and how these conditions can be rectified to better protect your investment.
• Provide you with recommendations on a suitable pest management program in accordance with Australian standards.

When was the last time your property was inspected?

To protect your home or investment properties, it is essential to keep visual termite inspections up to date and completed by an accredited professional pest inspector. By Australian standards, 12 monthly visual termite inspections are recommended. If damage has been found, our technician will discuss and recommend treatment plans to suit your property.
