What are Termites?
White Ants are what Termites are commonly referred as in Australia. They are an insect and descended from a cockroach like ancestor.
There are 350 difference species of termites within Australia and a small number of species cause over 100 million dollars of property damage each year.
3 Facts about Termites
- Ecologically speaking termites are a beneficial insects, however they are a serious issue for home and property owners.
- The worker and soldier termites are almost always blind.
- Termite soldiers will tap warning signals to the colony when they detect a threat.
What Termites Can Do
Termites can eat any timber or wood inside your home which includes wooden floors and furniture. 1 in 5 houses have or have had a termite infestation and/or damage.
Termites eat 24 hours a day and a colony are able to eat 5 grams of wood per day. Left untreated termites can quickly cause thousands of dollars of damage to your Port Botany property.
The termite queen can live up to 25 years and is able to produce 1000 eggs per day. This means that they are able to produce 9,000,000 eggs from one queen and a single colony is able to destroy a home. Killing the queen is crucial to stopping further termite damage to your home.
7 Signs Termites Are In Your Property

- Flying termites, mostly seen at night ‘Swarmers’ or flying bugs can be a sign that you have termites.
- Ants or termites, ants can be confused with termites, look at the waist section as it is a lot thicker in a termite than that of an ant.

Great responsive communications, no fuss and efficient work. Could see the generous use of the spray. Was late but still came out all the way. Still yet to see the effects as some cockroaches still out and about.

We know Port Botany well for potential termite problems.
Port Botany is a Sydney suburb in the Australian state of New South Wales. Port Botany is 12 kilometres south-east of Sydney’s central business district, in the City of Randwick’s local government area. Port Botany is located on Botany Bay’s northern coast, near the communities of Matraville, Banksmeadow, and Phillip Bay. Lieutenant James Cook first arrived at Botany Bay on April 29, 1770, while piloting his ship, the Endeavour, up Australia’s east coast. The ship’s English naturalist, Joseph Banks, and Swedish botanist, Daniel Solander, spent many days on shore gathering hitherto discovered species. Port Botany is a major commercial area that is serviced by road and rail networks, together with Sydney’s nearby international and domestic airports. The two Container Terminal facilities are complemented by a bulk liquids facility and an adjacent bulk liquids storage and distribution complex.
Using the right equipment our 10 years of experience and local knowledge of Port Botany our team can detect termites within your property.
We recommend an annual termite inspection as this can catch termite infestations and we can identify the best ways to minimise the risks.
The small investment in an inspection can save hundreds of thousands in damages and lost property value. You get insurance to protect against damage to your home from storms, fire, etc but termite damage is generally not covered well in our experience, or at all.
An inspection is like getting insurance for this type of damage and with termites relentlessly popping up in new locations, it is well worth it.
Types of Inspections we provide:
- Pre-purchase inspections when buying a new Port Botany property. This report provides a visual assessment of the condition of a property that will locate existing defects or areas of concern.The subterranean termite activity and any signs of moisture issues will be assessed by our licensed professionals.
- Pre-construction inspections and treatments, an important inspection to perform before the construction/slab has commenced.
- Home and property termite inspection if you suspect your home has termites.
Termite Treatment for Port Botany
At Certified Pest Management we use effective methods to ensure the fastest and most effective eradication of a termite infestation.
Baiting for Termites
Baiting focus on eradicating any existing termites on the property by using a specialised baiting system.
By placing pieces of timber that are tasty to termites our team can then locate where the termites have infested.
The baits are ensured to not be harmful to favourable insects, plants or humans, by not utilising any toxic compounds.
This method has been shown to work very well for complex buildings with multiple stories and concrete floors.
Termite Barriers for Port Botany
One of the best strategies of termite treatment is to keep termites away from the property in the first place. This is achieved by creating a barrier with a special repellent compound.
Barriers for Termites
By applying a chemical treatment around either a specific part or a full perimeter around the property we can create a barrier between the property and the termites.
The chemical barrier prevents the termites from being able to enter the property.
Future damage can be prevented when this barrier has been applied to the property.
This method is shown to be very effective for general households.
6 Termite Prevention Methods for Port Botany Properties
- Drips, Leaks & Pipes By fixing any leaking pipes or inadequate draining will help prevent attracting termites, as they love moisture and wood.
- Shrubs & Garden Ensuring that your garden beds are clear of building edges and small gaps left between bricks to enable water to drain out.This increases the distance termites will have to travel to enter the property.
- Keep Areas Clear Areas under the home should be kept clear as to not reduce ventilation and give pests such as termites an initial place to infest.
- Move Wood Ensuring that any wood that is stored outside is not in close contact with the ground and is not close to the home.
- Pre-Construction A pre-construction spray will ensure that there is a barrier from termites from the start of the construction process.
- Regular Check-Ins By getting professional pest inspections on a regular basis will reduce your risk of a severe termite infestation as it will be able to be detected and treated as soon as possible.It is recommend to have an inspection at least once a year.
