EcoSafe Pest Control technologies as developed by FUMAPEST since 1984 include ✦ the restricted use of safer latest generation insecticides ✦ highly trained pest control technicians ✦ physical exclusion barriers and ✦ pest environment alteration to reduce risk of specific pest infestations.
PLEASE NOTE ✦ the latest generation pest control products, such as termite baits ✦ liquid termiticides - low hazard baits for cockroaches and ants are much safer for use in and around the home or workplace ✦ but these products require a far higher level of skill to ensure an effective result.
For termite control ✦ FUMAPEST uses Termidor and Premise termite prevention soil barrier treatments and ✦ our EcoSafe Termite Baiting & Monitoring System ✦ with Nemesis termite bait.

Termites infest 1 in 3 homes in the RYDE Area |

Termites - a major worry - recent industry surveys suggest one in three homes will suffer a termite infestation in the RYDE Council area - to make matters worse your building or home insurance will NOT cover timber damage by termites - it is usually very expensive to replace structural timbers.

Picture of a termite nest in a wall cavity - FUMAPEST Inspector examines a large above-ground termite subnest built inside a wall cavity of a home.
Termites build subnests where moisture collects inside a wall cavity - from leaking pipes - shower recess - faulty guttering - down-pipes - the termites build subnests inside the building in order to concentrate their energies close to a major food-source - extensive damage results. |
YOUR BEST PROTECTION is to arrange for a FUMAPEST Termite Inspection & Report to AS 3660 - includes written specifications - termite control options - baiting of live termites found - please note a Termidor or Premise soil barrier treatment is your best long term protection against termite infestations.
Live termites found FUMAPEST uses Termidor dust or Nemesis bait direct onto live termites - central colony eradication is certain if enough Termidor dust or Nemesis Termite Bait is transported back to the central colony - we closely monitor baited termite activity areas at 2 to 3 weekly intervals - to assess level of consumption of the termite baits - and to replenish the bait, as and when required.
Nemesis Termite Bait contains an IGR insect growth regulator that prevents the worker termite from regrowing its external skeleton after moulting. The IGR is slow acting. Worker termites ingesting the bait will feed partly digested timber and the bait to other termites in the central colony nest - termites are known to cannibalise other dead termites thereby further spreading its lethal effect .... more details
Reliable 100% termite protection - the hi-tech termite control products approved for use against subterranean termites in Australia and USA are Premise and Termidor.
Both have been extensively tested in Australia and USA and if correctly applied as per AS 3660 will provide reliable 100% long term termite protection - in most situations.
Premise and Termidor are used for treatment of soil at the base of a building to prevent termite entry into the building - exhibits a delayed transfer effect - can eliminate termite nests in and around the building - providing more than 5 years protection if applied correctly as a complete termite barrier to AS3660 ... more details |

Why it is important to know about termites |
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING Subterranean termite infestation and damage to a building and other timber structures can be severe - to make matters worse - your building and home insurance policy does NOT cover the repair costs - termites are known to destroy the wall and roofing timbers of a home within a few months.
We recommend you read the Termites section of this web-site to help you assess the risk and to select which of the termite control options best protect your property.
Alternative termite control methods aim at exploiting certain behavioural characteristics of subterranean termites found in varying types of building construction

WARNING: The NSW EPA Pest Control Licensing is INADEQUATE |
|
|
|
|
|
Be Careful in selecting a Pest Controller ✦ Unfortunately - it is far too easy to get a NSW Government EPA issued pest control licence and start up a Pest Control business in NSW with little knowledge or experience in providing safe and effective pest control services ✦ click here for more details.
The NSW Pest Control Licensing system is subject to National Competency Assessment guidelines. Mediocre testing can be carried by Private Workplace Assessors (not part of TAFE system). The so called competency assessment can be a combination of oral, written and visual tests ie maybe 1% in writing.
Private Workplace Assessors are given general guidelines in the National Competency Standards but there is no set standard test or specific knowledge requirements. Once privately assessed as "competent" then the NSW EPA Pest Control Licensing will issue a pest control licence to the individual. There is no published list of Private Workplace Assessors so it is difficult to gauge the extent of the problem.
The System is Inadequate: Some Private Assessors offer a one week course. A person so issued with a pest control licence can set up a Pest Control business (not required to register with EPA) and employ an unlimited number of trainees, using pesticides in people's homes without direct personal supervision.
FUMAPEST Setting the Standard in an industry plagued by fly-by-night operators, FUMAPEST Termite & Pest Control stands out as a well established pest control business with excellent reputation in the market-place. |
