How does Rentokil expert termite control protect your property?

Rentokil defends your home or business by diagnosing the underlying cause of termite activity and using advanced detection technology to treat the source, not just the visible symptoms.

  • Targeted diagnosis: Every service begins with a detailed inspection so the treatment targets the actual source of the infestation, not just the pests you can easily see.
  • Smart hidden detection: We utilise world-class diagnostic tools, including radar and thermal imaging, to uncover hidden termite activity inside walls and timber without damaging your home.
  • Safe & precise application: Our Integrated Pest Management approach prioritises non-chemical steps first. When needed, we apply treatments regulated by the APVMA that are safe for children and pets once dry.
  • Commercial early-warning: For commercial clients, we deploy continuous monitoring systems to identify and manage pest risks proactively, reducing the risk of them from impacting your operations, revenue, or reputation.

Frequently asked questions about termite control

Answer: No, calling them "white ants" is biologically inaccurate..

  • They earned the nickname because they share a similar social colony structure with ants.  
  • Biologically, termites are soft-bodied insects.  
  • They are actually more closely related to cockroaches than to ants.

Answer: You should have a professional inspection at least every 12 months.

  • The Australian Standard AS3660 officially recommends annual inspections for properties.  
  • If you live in a known high-risk area, more frequent inspections are strongly recommended.  
  • Properties with heavy moisture issues or direct timber contact also require more regular monitoring to stay control.

Answer: Standard sprays will only cause the colony to scatter deeper into your walls.

  • Disturbing termite activity with over-the-counter sprays makes professional treatments much less effective.
  • Rentokil uses specialised, slow-acting formulations rather than instant-kill sprays.
  • Foraging termites unknowingly carry this formulation back to the nest.
  • The treatment is then spread to the entire colony through their natural grooming habits (a process called trophallaxis), targeting the source.

Answer: No. Ground barriers require ongoing maintenance and regular inspections to remain effective.

  • Barriers act as a strong, proactive line of defence for your property.
  • However, having a barrier installed does not negate the need for annual inspections to ensure it hasn't been compromised.

  • Leaking plumbing creates the damp environments that termites seek out.
  • Foundation cracks can trap moisture and provide easy entry points.
  • Poorly plumbed AC runoff generates standing moisture that subterranean colonies thrive in.
