Stopping birds with Netting
Netting off a loading dock awning where birds were roosting & nesting. Droppings can contaminate food products and also contain acids which corrode all type of materials & surfaces including car duco.
Bird Proofing
Preventing birds from nesting underneath & damaging solar panels. This is becoming fairly regular. Bird droppings contain bacteria & respiratory tract diseases which can seriously effect human health
TERMITE Eradication
- Termite mound nest
- Termite damaged flooring
Concealed termites in roof cavity
OUR INSPECTIONS – Accessing areas where pests aren’t obvious
Our Timber Pest Inspections often uncover what others don’t
- Termites coming through the ceiling over kitchen cupboards
- Termite inside a wall above double doorway
Termite nest inside the wall (hot water system providing moisture & warmth)
TERMITE COLONY LOCATION & ERADICATION IN TREES & STUMPS
Many native Australian trees are favoured nesting sites for our most destructive termite species
At PEST ELITE, we deploy the most efficient techniques to accurately locate and eliminate termite colonies in trees & stumps, preserving both your property and the trees
TERMITE ERADICATION IN Building Structures
Successful treatment when termites are active in buildings & structures is an extremely important aspect of termite
control. Termite damage repairs can run into tens of thousands of dollars
It’s not uncommon to have a termite treatment underneath & around the exterior of a building done, only to find the termites continue to damage the structure because a subsidiary termite nest inside the building structure was missed
TERMITE TREATMENT in structures – Transferable IGR Dust
Often Used as alternative to baiting where preferred or where time is of the essence eg: Property ownership changing. Transferable dusting is the first phase of a 2 or 3 stage Termite Control Program
TERMITE BAITING – One of our ‘ECO OPTIONS’
The termite bait formulation is completely harmless to people, pets, other insect species & our eco systems
TERMITE BAITING – The concept
Termite baiting can be used to eradicate termite activity in a building or structure as an alternative to termiticides as a “greener” option. Or, the building may be constructed in a way that makes thorough chemical soil treatment impossible or difficult
Baiting success relies on the termites being attracted to & consuming enough bait for it to be transferred to the queen, reproductives, nymphs & soldier termites by the worker termites, resulting in complete colony eradication
TERMITE BAITING – Baiting systems DO NOT work on all termite species
- Very effective on Coptotermes species
- Can be effective but can be very slow on Nasutitermes & Schedorhinotermes
- DO NOT work on Mastotermes
TERMITE MONITORING & BAITING PROGRAMS
Termite bait stations installed on trees with termite nests inside

TERMITE BAITING
IN-GROUND stations are also used to bait active termites
And are also an important part of our ongoing termite monitoring program
TERMITE BAITING & MONITORING PROGRAMS
Installing in ground stations as part of a Termite Management Program
TERMITE BAITING & MONITORING PROGRAMS
In-ground stations should be installed under the “dripline“ of the home to take advantage of
excess rain water which keeps the soil moist (which termites prefer)
TERMITE BAITING & MONITORING PROGRAMS Once installed, the system is inspected at pre-arranged intervals
If monitoring only – 8 weekly or 3 monthly depending on local termite pressure & termite history
INSTALLING OPTIONAL IN-CONCRETE TERMITE MONITORING & BAITING STATIONS
CHEMICAL SOIL TREATMENTS – 1 OF OUR TERMITE SOLUTIONS
Cutting out & removing concrete strips (using a professional contractor) where abutting the building permits
more thorough chemical treatment of the soil underneath
This leaves a lower finished ground level abutting the exterior of the building in the form of a channel of pebbles and a much more VISIBLE & EFFECTIVE Inspection zone
Chemical Soil Treatments – TERMITE MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
Drilling & chemical injection of concrete
CHEMICAL SOIL TREATMENTS – Drilling & chemical injection of soil under concrete to create a termite treated zone around the foundations of buildings & structures
Specialised equipment is used to ensure chemical is evenly distributed throughout the soil areas
