We would encourage you to not make a huge decision to purchase a home without engaging the services of a professional company for your Building & Pest Inspection.
We would look forward to receiving your call.

Don’t panic. In fact, don’t do anything before calling an expert to discuss what you have found. The last thing you want to do is scare them away before you have had an expert come out to assess the situation.

Termites are cryptic by nature, meaning they will retreat from the area that you have disturbed. We want the termites to remain exactly where they are as this gives us the best possible chance to eliminate their colony.

We will use a combination of methods to kill the termites, and destroy their colony. We may use a poisonous dust or liquid chemical if found outside. The dust and chemical Swarm use is slow acting, which means that it will give the termites enough time to take the poison back to their nests and over time, eliminate the entire colony of termites.

If you think you have found termites, also known as White Ants then please call us immediately. We do not charge anything to give you advice and will, free of charge visit your home to assess the situation!

There are a few ways to minimise the chance of termites entering your home. Swarm use a few methods, one of which is the application of a specialised chemical into the soil surrounding your home. This is known as a Treatment Zone, which poisons the termites should they be brave enough to tunnel their way through it. Unless disturbed, the lifespan of a treated zone is around 6 to 8 years.
A strong recommendation from Swarm, would be to have us install a reticulation system of flexible hose into the trenched soil. The flexible hose has a number of tiny holes throughout the length, allowing us to fill it up with chemical in the future, thereby removing the need to have to dig another trench in future.

Another, less intrusive method of controlling termites is to place purpose-built bait stations at defined intervals around the home. Many of our clients choose this method as it is less intrusive than us having to trench and treat, or drill and inject chemical into the soil.
Our bait station solution includes a free bait inspection within 3 months to tweak the placement of them and to check for any termite activity within them.

Furthermore, you will receive advice about how to make your home less inviting to termites.

Please remember, we are just a phone call away. It would be our pleasure to give you continued advice into the future.
